I wish I wasn’t going to be in Charlotte NC on November 13 and 14. If I weren’t, I would be at 4903 Fountain Ave, in Hollywood. JR Woodward and The Ecclesia Network are bringing a free and innovative group of leaders, activists and thinkers all sharing their hard-won insight on thinking and living missionally. Personally having been a friend of JR’s, I can tell you that he is always thinking of how his life and the lives of those around him can truly be awakened to join God in the renewal of all things. If you don’t know him, it will take you all of about 10 seconds to see how vibrant and interesting his life personally is, and it simply makes you want to follow Christ all the more. Go ahead, time yourself here.
They will be handling any number of these topics over the 24 hour period…
Scripture and Mission
Emotional Health and Mission
Social Justice and Mission
Economics and Mission
Discipleship and Mission
Creation Care and Mission
Conversion and Mission
Neighborhood and Mission
Leadership and Mission
Politics and Mission
Evangelism and Mission
Incarnation and Mission
Prophetic Ministry and Mission
Worship and Mission
You won’t want to miss this. It is free, but you have rsvp to their facebook page to make their lives and planning a bit easier. Yes, I know that you are so “in the moment that you don’t want to quench the Spirit of God by making plans too far in advance.” Don’t be that guy… Let ’em know you are coming.
Please continue to spread the word about this. This 24 hour time is being tagged as “where the next BIG idea meets the unconference”, let’s keep the viral promotion up. Just think, it could be just like Snakes on a Plane.
