Can you imagine how odd it seems to be reading a group with thousands upon thousands of posts and topics and find one all about YOU???? Well that is what happened to me today! I did not belong to "Apostolic Friends" but was browsing through it when I read the "Whatever happened to Joseph Conroy?" post. You can imagine my surprise because....I AM JOSEPH CONROY!
Incredible. Well to answer your question I am still alive and kickin' but NOT in Salzburg (Which is about two and a half hours from here just across the Austrian border) But rather in Augsburg, which is "The City of the Renaissance".
Busy as a beaver! As you may know I was a missionary in the Middle East (Syria Jordan and occasionally over into Israel in the hopes of starting a work there in Jerusalem)
Came to Germany as we had large groups of our Arab saints emigrating to Europe as refugees all the time, and established the work here in Augsburg around the year 2000.
After a series of things that to be honest with you I don't understand to this very day, The work here in Augsburg is now all German. I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off, with daily outreach in not only Augsburg, but now all over Bavaria.
Currently we are renovating a building that is nearing completion, and never having renovated a building before I was NOT prepared for the "agony" that it puts a pastor through! SHINGLES was about as close as I have3 ever come to experiencing similar pain!!!!
But Praise God we are almost through, I am coming to the states in a short time to finish raising the money to finish the building. I am still needing to put in bathrooms, a luxury I know, but one that our visitors will enjoy having!)
I also have opened a new location in a village called Aindling, right next to a cow barn! Lots and LOTS of cows!
I am loving Germany more and more every day!
Well, I will be participating on the boards now that they have made the foolish error of letting me in!
(just saw the emoticons on the side, have an idea what they refer to, picked one guaranteed to raise someones hackles, though who i don't know! ) wouldn't it be tremendous though if the Church of Jesus ever reached the maturity to base our fellowship and cooperation on ones love and adherence to the Gospel and Principles of Jesus Christ and NOTHING ELSE!?
I'm dreamin I know....
