Well yesterday I finished Jane Els' book "Journey to the Kingdom of God". I loved it! It's all about mission and where she's been. She's been to Guatemala and formed relationships there between her church, several Dallas churches and the Norte presbytery. She also has done a lot of PDA work - Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. She's been to places hit by hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Ike. Little did I know she was a camp manager and such.
Jane and I met at Synod and I met her in 2007. My friend Sharla was in Jane's small group, Jane was the SGL or small group leader. This year Jane coordinated our mission projects for about 350 people in Tulsa. I wish I had more time to talk with Jane - she's a neat lady!
Anyway, I encourage you to buy the book. She's mission-oriented and Presbyterian! And an ordained elder. Anyway, I like her take on life, people, and doing God's work. I laughed and cried throughout the book. I could relate to some situations and often wondered about others.
Excellent book - now I just need to figure out what I'm going to do...
