Exponential Conference

This week, I am in Orlando for the Exponential Church Planter's Conference. There have been some good speakers, and I have met some good, Godly men and women.

While talking with Alan Hirsch, I was struck with the notion that we need to be more than just a focus on mission in the community; we need to be committed to the mission in the community.

As David Bosch noted in his book, God is on mission (missio Dei), it is up to the church to join Him there.

Meeting at FBC Woodstock

I attended a Church Planter's meeting today at FBC Woodstock. It was nice to be around guys that are going through some of the same things I am.

Some of the things discussed were conflict, prayer, and communicating the vision. I am often amazed how much these are interrelated.

Our First Worship Celebration!

Today was the very first worship service for LifeTree Church, and the days
and weeks of prayer and preparation truly paid off. We had a great group of
26 people present. Kent Caperton led the worship music, and he was
excellent. Kent is a real pro.

I had a couple of things that I felt I could improve, but on the whole I
really feel like God was glorified today. We are now working towards the
second Sunday in February. Keep us in your prayers.
