The Exponential Conference
This past week I was down in Orlando, Florida for the 2008 National New Church Conference (Exponential) spending some time learning about this art while meeting and networking with a large contingent of people. There were about 3,000 people at the conference this year! While there, I was able to meet with Linda Bergquist, a church planting guru in the Bay Area, and witness her excitement that we were moving out there this summer to begin preparations to plant a church in the city!
After spending a couple of hours with her over a cup of coffee, we learned that there is a move of God beginning to take place in the Bay Area, and that God is truly beginning to make way and prepare the way for new things to begin happening in the city! I was also able to meet a couple of other pastors from the area that are from different denominational affiliations and they too were very excited that we were coming!
God is beginning something amazing for the city of San Francisco, and I’m extremely excited that we get to be a part of it!
