Thursday will be an historic day for CMF. Every year CMF has a furlough retreat for our personnel who are on furlough, or as some call it, “home assignment.” Furlough is a time for retooling, reconnecting with supporters and prayer partners, relaxing, renewal and reassessment. The furlough retreats are held in Indianapolis.
This year we have a lot of furloughing missionaries! It is great to have them around for a few days. There are so many young children running around having a blast with one another, and a few older children too. I didn’t do an official count, but I heard there were 50 people, which meant 15 couples/individuals. CMF staff are in and out as well.
On Thursday the entire group will be going down to Nashville, Indiana. They will be joining the annual Globalscope Celebration. The Celebration is an event where all of our campus ministers from around the world come together for a few days of fellowship, renewal, strategic planning, and meeting with the Globalscope Steering Committee. There are about 40 Globalscope missionaries in Nashville, so when the two groups of missionaries get together, history for CMF will be made.
Because, never in our 61 years have we had so many missionaries together in one place at the same time.
In CMF we love what we do, and we also like getting together.
