More from Chicago
So let me get this straight... no one else posts anything on this stupid blog for twelve weeks, and all of the sudden it's scoop central now that I'm trying to do a series of posts from the field?
A few highlights from Chicago...
-- Sitting in on Mark Driscoll and Mark Dever chatting for two hours late last night. Man, I wish I had a tape recorder for that one. It was like mega-church Godzilla and church reform Moth-ra chatting amicably and plotting to flatten Tokyo together.
-- Lunch with the church planting guys from James MacDonald's Harvest Bible Church. These cats have planted something like 30 churches in 8 years.
-- Met some awesome Acts 29 church planters. These guys are getting great training at the Boot Camp and it's exciting to see Reformed guys with a heart for planting churches. Did you know that Acts 29 churches earmark at least 10% of their budgets to church planting? I love the mission mindedness.
Update: Check here for Harvest Bible's School of Ministry website. May be good folks for you to know if you're thinking about church planting.
?stupid blog?
I can't speak for you or for others, Mike, but I'm greatly encouraged by this blog and do not find anything here as "stupid."

Hi Mike
Great connecting with you... wondering if you could throw in the site www.harvestbiblefellowship.us in this blog... It is our School of Ministry Site. It may bring us some potential church planters which we are all looking for. Thanks for you and Mark taking time to meet ... time well spent

BK,
I was trying to put up some hurdles so as to weed out the dumb ones. :)
