It's just after 9am and I'm worshiping with some 800+ church planters who are all here for the same purpose; to connect and share church planting stories and to hear from some dynamic practioners who are leading this church planting revolution that is sweeping across the US and abroad.
As I was waiting for the doors of the auditorium to open for seating a man who introduced himself as Mark Dever approached. As we waited in the mezzanine we struck up a brief conversation where we discussed a bit of our own experiences. Mark will be speaking later this afternoon. It was good to connect on a personal level with him.
Each speaker, including Mark Dever, will share a compelling idea that they are grappling with in their own field of harvest.
