North American Convention - Monday Lunch

A part of the fun of the North American Convention is seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Andy Hannich and I were determined to meet with Isai Calderon Jr. this week to talk over the agenda for our November trip to Guatemala.

We met up on the Calderons on the campgrounds at Andy and Ingrid's camp site. Then we were off to lunch at Pizza Hut. An added bonus for me was to meet Pastor Adriaan & Uschi Bais, Andy's sister and brother-in-law. Adriann is from Holland and is pastor of one of the three Church of God congregations in Holland.

We had a truly international lunch! From left to right are the names of my lunch partners and their nationality: Andy Hannich (Germany), Ingrid Hannich (Canada), Adriaan Bais (Holland), Isai Calderon, Jr. (USA/Guatemala), Petra Calderon (Austria/Guatemala), and Uschi Bais (Germany).

And, yes, Andy and I did nail down Isai to learn exactly what is expected of us in Guatemala later this year. We will be leading a 2 day conference for 100-125 of the Church of God pastors in Guatemala. I cannot wait!
