Consulent Ministry

It's a new week -- and it's the week that I/we (the wife and I) begin a new Consulent Ministry. "Consulent" is a rare word which basically means oversight. And it's something new to me: a small town in the semi-desert, where English is spoken by a minority. The majority language is my wife's mother tongue (though not her mother's mother tongue -- however, let's not get complicated) ... Once a month, we shall travel up to ten hours (return trip) into the Beyond. While I know little about my/our new pastorate, they have been very kind, and excited about our coming, and my thoughts have been occupied with the priorities for a new ministry.
