Fresh and Refreshing


Mission work is like farming in which laborers (missionaries and collaborators) need to pause, rest, muster energy and sharpen spiritual tools in view of a more fruitful harvest. September 5 to 11 were the SHEC staff’s opportune moments spent for renewing their mission commitment in the serene atmosphere of Boracay. Like Jesus who wasted long hours of silence in order to connect to his Father, the Source of his fresh energy to serve, the SHEC staff also spent quiet moments, not only to connect to the Source, but also to re-learn and savor anew the roots of SHEC mission work. ‘Fresh and refreshing,’ the staff went home well-rounded and fully fit again for mission work.
