Running makes missionaries happy, healthy and wise!
SIM Peru had our Spiritual Life Conference at the Bible Union Camp near Lima. Every year we gather all the missionaries and kids (77 this year!) and spend time together. Dr. Stuart Scott from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary came to teach on Biblical decision making, and a team from Canada led the program for teens and kids. We also had workshops on 'orality' (how to teach illiterate people Bible stories and truths), multicultural teams, a book review of ,"When Helping Hurts," and some less-academic events such as a 4.5-mile foot race on the beach called ,"Race to the Rocks,", pictured above. I guess having running events is one of the risks that come with having a field director who is a running fanatic.
