Today at the Global Mission Event, we woke up (late), and went to a global warming presentation that gave information on how to increase the energy efficiency of your home. After that, we went and had a lovely lunch with Pastor Gary. Then, we went to a session about improving the lives of people in Africa. Soon after, we went to another session about free trade, and we are planning on working with Divine chocolates, which is owned by farmers in Africa (we can sell in Dayton/Church). Then we went to dinner and then to Globalfest, and finally back to the dorms to play some cards.

Sounds like a lot of inspiring presentations and posts. Several of you have mentioned fair trade chocolate. Lutheran World Relief has a fair trade coffee project which I believe a lot of churches are involved in. Chocolate and coffee might make a good combination. Also, my daughter Liz, who is spending two years in Ecuador and Peru, has spent a lot of time on fair trade issues. Maybe she could answer questions or give a presentation via skype.
You are all learning wonderful ways to serve God and his People! I'm looking forward to what you share with our congregation, espcially with Fair Trade issues and how we can buy responibly here in Dayton. Keep up the great work! God Bless, Rachel
