God continues to amaze me!!! This quote sums up my feelings at the moment.

"Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming...WOW! What a ride!"

GCA

My intention was to blog throughout the Global Church Advancement Church Planting Seminar, but it was so full of good teaching that I did not have time to blog. I hope to share some of the highlights over the next days.

This teaching was invaluable and I look forward to implementing some of the things I learned. Anyone interested in church planting should consider GCA as essential training. Check it out at: http://www.gca.cc/

Global Church Advancement

I am attending the North American Church Planting Conference held at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN. Today was the first day and I realize how much I don't know about church planting. I attended two workshops by Tom Nebel on Church Planting Landmines. It was enlightening and encouraging. The teaching comes from his book by the same title. It is packed with wisdom and insights from a seasoned church planter. It is a must have book for church planters, so if you don't have it get it.

I have met many great church planters. This is a time of sweet fellowship because church planters are a rare breed and are a lot of fun to be around. I love these guys!!! They lay it all on the line for the sake of the gospel. I have been greatly encouraged today. Thank you Jesus!

Did I mention that I miss Anne and Asher? Its only the first of five days. I can't wait to see them!

Stay tuned...

When you abandon any desire you have to direct the course of your own life and you commit yourself to doing everything and anything the LORD calls you to do things can get pretty interesting!
