I went to Melbourne for work last weekend. It was awesome, but completely exhausting, and different to the time there that I had expected. Apart from catching up with a good friend from HK, we really did see the hotel room, the convention centre, and the walk down the river in between!
It was also a lovely time of encouragement, of seeing an eclectic team of people working together- a group who see each other twice a year, as they are all based around the country as reps for the company.
One of the things that most encouraged me, was that yes, we are a mostly peopled by Christians, and, as such, were a company in a mainstream gift show. So, we were representing the company, and as Christians, being ambassadors for God. It was such an encouragement then, to meet other Christians there, and to see people’s reactions as they came onto our stand. Some asked if we were a Christian organization, so we were able to share in different cases, which was absolutely lovely. One pair of women asked, because they have a niece who is 9 and a Christian, so were wondering! In a crazy time away, it was those moments when God broke through in wonderfully life bringing ways which made it all worthwhile.
