Perhaps you have never heard of Exponential?
It promises to be an incredible event taking place next week in
Well over 2,000 people (including several from our church staff) will gather for four days to dream, envision and to prepare themselves and their teams to engage in the most significant task in human history.... planting and nurturing new churches. If you don't think this is critical work, think again. This is not just about new churches in the
Some of you might be thinking, why do we need new churches... don't we have enough already ?!? The answer to that is simply... No. There are so many people around the world, we are no where close to having enough churches currently in existence to impact their lives!
i am particularly excited about this year's conference because there is a track designed especially for those who are interested in multi-ethnic/ multi-racial church planting. i am absolutely convinced that the future of the church will need to focus on creating communities of faith that celebrate and embrace racial and ethnic diversity. The material that will be presented in this track will challenge and encourage... and i can't wait!
As a result of not being in town next week my next blog entry will be May 1st.... between now and the next time i visit this blog again, i plan on "suffering" through 87 degree weather with partially sunny to sunny skies... someone has to do it... i am glad to volunteer!
