Starting tomorrow, the Acts 29 Network will be sponsoring a church planter’s boot camp at The Village Church. Between boot camps where I was assessed and now as an assessor, I’ve attended a total of six of these events. While that’s a lot of boot camps, I find myself always learning something new each time.
In addition, I can’t help but be refreshed and encouraged by the many young men answering the call to plant a church. Some will be assessed and “green-lit” while others will be told to wait. No matter which category a man finds himself in, I’m always amazed by the willingness of young men to risk secure jobs and safety to explore a potential call on their life. I’m also amazed at how many of these men actually trust other men to speak truth and authority into their life regarding their call.
If you’re in the DFW area, it’s too late to pre-register…but take a chance to register at the door. It’s going to be a great time and worth your dollars. Main speakers are Scott Thomas, Matt Chandler, Darrin Patrick, JR Vassar, Mark Driscoll, Jonathan Dodson and Matt Carter. On a CityView Church note, I’m super-excited that our Worship Pastor–Adam Crawford–will be leading the morning worship each day. In addition to doing assessments, I’ll be co-leading a breakout with Jonathan Dodson. For those already attending, see you there!
