In August 1981, when planning to go to Wellington (NZ) to attend a Geography Teachers’ Conference I was told by Weston Finlay, the associate pastor of our church that “God would reveal to me clearly the next step” in our mission adventure which we were weighing in the balance “and that I would see the big picture, all things in perspective”. I laughed at him and told him not to get too super spiritual; I was only going to a Geography Conference. Weston was so certain that he told me again the exact same words prefaced by: No the Lord clearly said . . . In fact God led me from the Geography Conference to a Mission Conference (Move Out 1981) and then showed me clearly the next step and indeed gave me an over view of what we would be getting into so that I saw the big picture and saw all the pieces in perspective. Now where did Weston get that from? How did he know to say that? The Holy Spirit prompted him in a word of knowledge.
