I went to Urbana in my role with IFES, with jobs to do and people to meet. I went with an uncanny ability to block the sound of God’s voice, to keep me from being distracted from the work I had to do. Slowly I realised this had become a reflex action in many of the contexts in and through which God has been trying to speak to me.

God made me realise how hard my heart had become to the gentle touch of his Spirit.

Following Urbana, God opened my eyes to see this, and is now gently breaking my heart with a desire to see His glory in my life and in the lives of those around me; the ones I love, and the ones he is calling me to love.

Praise God for his patience and persistence with us.
