Acts 29 Day 1

I made the 9 plus hour trip to Raleigh NC arriving @ 10:30 am.

The hotel was nice enough to get me into a room where I hit the shower and off to the Conference by 11:30 am.

The Vintage 21 church building is very cool. It is in the inner city and used to be a night club. It has a feel between a coffee shop and a modern art museum.

I've got to meet a few people. There is Dan and Jo-el for North Carolina. Dan looks like Trent. Jo-el Dan's Children's pastor looks like he belongs on Miami Ink. Both very nice guys. I also sat with their fellow North Carolinian, Ty. A nice middle class 30 something that is in a church plant a couple of towns over. Rounding out our table was John, John and Dustin. They showed up late so I didn't see where they were from.

I did meet a young man named Brian whose church just had their kick off in Middletown OH.

The sessions were on what to expect from the Acts 29 vision (which I had heard before on line),
as well as how to spiritually take care of yourself and the mission so you don't become a burn out stat. Chan Kilgore of Orlando knocked it out of the park.

Tomorrow we'll be hearing from Mark Driscoll and Ed Stetzer a couple of my fave on line preachers and authors as well as some break out sessions.

It's late and tomorrow comes early so...good night.
