This morning’s devotion time was interrupted by a couple of journalists from a local newspaper. We talked to them for a bit before gathering up on deck for a group photo. After that, we took another picture of the Milan and Harpenden outreach teams for our photo wall. It’s getting full, and has started to creep across to the other side.

It is a maintenance day today. We try to devote days to evangelism or maintenance. Of course there is usually a bit of both happening at any given time, but it is nice to work as a whole body to achieve the day’s goals. It is still a challenge to balance all the aspects of full-time ministry and full-time living on a boat. There is always something needing repairs, or preventative maintenance. Something is always covered in rust. There is always painting to be done.

Paula and Luigi, the leaders of the Milan base, are here visiting their DTS. We are hoping to continue developing the relationship between Milan and the Next Wave. As a ministry, our heart is for Italy and other Mediterranean nations.
