TOR Time of Refreshing Conference

Tonight is the last night of the TOR “Time of Refreshing” Conference in Leysin, Switzerland. Just like last year, the gathering has been a tremendous blessing to everyone. It is attended by about one hundred American missionaries working in all parts of Old and New Europe. The purpose is to give all of us a break from the day to day and be blessed by many Americans that sponsor the three day event.

Whether you are a “first timer” or “many timer” we all become family quickly as part of the Body of Christ serving here in Europe. It is a tremendous blessing to all of to hear the testimonies of young and old missionaries’ alike serving God here. The other blessing is that it is a cross denominational meeting, truly meaning we represent all parts of the Body of Christ.

We wrap up tonight with the last evening session and our final departure breakfast and short testimony time before returning to our assigned locations. The time literally flies over the short time we are here but everyone is excited about seeing each other again next year to share more stories about what our Heavenly Father has done in their lives.

I’m off to Zurich with a pastor friend to attend his church in Zurich during the weekend and also another short conference on building the kingdom of God. It will be interesting.

God bless you all. We’ll stay in touch as soon as possible.

God’s blessings,
Lawrence Blakeslee
