I've had the honor and joy of volunteering for Compassion for several years. Mostly local events, but on occasion, I have also served as the lead volunteer for some conferences and events in Indiana. I was asked if I might be up for flying to Atlanta to help at the Orange Conference. As I'm always up for an adventure the answer was a resounding "YES"!
I've been on a handful of flights, and I never quit being amazed at being able to travel this way.
I was surprised to see a familiar face in the crowd. Emily Bence had been a member of Hope and had been an intern when I was working in the office. She is working at a church in West Virginia. She was just as surprised to see me.
Of course, I had to squeeze in a geocache to get my Georgia souvenir
Our main task was to promote the Compassion Journey to attendees. This is a new event for Compassion geared to churches.
After 3 days of working and meeting some great people, it was time to head home. I got to fly, gain some valuable experience, and tackle Atlanta traffic. It was a full 3 days.
