  18. GHDA NATIONAL STAFF Rev. Paul Johnson is Coordinator for GHDA. Trina Gallop, also at National Office, works in communication.

  19. DISCUSSION • What has stood out for you today? • How does GHDA fit into your ministry? • What opportunities to are there for you to serve or support GHDA? • What is your understanding now of the connection between local mission and global mission?

  20. Luke 7:18-23 (NRSV) The disciples of John reported all these things to him. So John summoned two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?’ When the men had come to him, they said, ‘John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?”’ Jesus had just then cured many people of diseases, plagues, and evil spirits, and had given sight to many who were blind And he answered them, ‘Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news brought to them. And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me.’

  21. REFLECTIONS • Does Jesus meet your expectations? • What expectations do you have of your congregation? Are they satisfied or disappointed? • What are your expectations of ministry in your synod? • What are your expectations of GHDA? • Can you commend the work of GHDA to your congregation in a way that reflects Christ’s support of John? Do you know the stories?
