What do Winnie the Pooh, Jane Austen, and Foursquare Pastors have in common?  A Regional Pastors Conference in England of course! 

Shortly after returning from vacation, I flew to Englad to lead worship for and participate in our Regional Pastors Conference in Northwestern Europe.  We stayed in an old Enlgish manor not too far from Jane Austen's home, and the place where Winnie the Pooh was written.  We had Foursquare Pastors from Great Britain, Ireland, Estonia, and Norway.  We had Dr. Paul Risser, and Pastor Terry Risser from (Foursquare Pastors from the Florence Avenue Church in California, USA) as our guests and main speakers.  This was an historical event in that it was the first ever Regional Pastors Conference for this part of Europe.  It was a profound time of relationship building, sharing of perspective and mission, worship, as well as receiving very practical and pastoral instruction from our guests.  We have the privilege of serving a diverse region with many strong ministers.

Here are some pictures from where we stayed:
