Mondays usually mean meetings. But I had two additional meetings today, one planned and one unexpected, at one of my favorite local coffee shops.
The first meeting, which was scheduled, was with a journalist from a local community paper. She is very interested in the work that I and the rest of my colleagues do with IAFR and has a huge heart for the refugee crisis. Her desire is that more people would learn about what is going on. We are looking at the possibility of a series of articles and stories. Stay tuned. More to come.
At the same time, I unexpectedly ran into a friend who recently booked me to speak at his church this summer. We have a long history of friendship, and it was great to catch up and discuss a little about my upcoming talk.
Can I also just add, that I am excited about the opportunities that I have been given to speak about my work with IAFR, both in and outside of Peoria. If you are interested where I will be speaking or traveling the summer, you can check it out on the tab labeled “Where I Will Be”.
