Twenty Years On - A Relay Reunion
Manage episode 314359768 series 2850581
The highlight of today was being part of an online reunion for those who started the Relay Program in the UK 20 years ago.
The virtual reunion today was incredibly moving. It was fabulous seeing 40 plus faces on screen and listening to their stories. Just in this group we had 12 nations represented as people joined from 5 continents. We heard examples of church leadership, sustainable development, mission, business, education and entrepreneurship. These stories were inspirational in the extent of their impact and in the honesty of their struggles.
Together they testify to the grace of God, the influence of a gospel lived and shared, the blessing of friends and family and perseverance born of hope.
At it’s birth Relay looked like it might be a moment but it has turned out to be a movement.
When we started Relay I had no idea what I was really doing. It was not an organised program with a set curriculum. Relay was shaped by a few key ideas and adapted as we went along. I have a page from an old Filofax where five of these ideas are scribbled.
