Well we are off to World Mandate (last years photo) tomorrow morning at 3am! This will be the fourth year in a row I have attended the conference. Each year God totally opens my eyes to what he is doing throughout the earth; God's vision for his church is so much bigger than mine. Last year it was Steve (our church planter going to Buffalo NY) and I, but this year there will be 26 of us going to Waco Texas. Antioch church, who hosts the conference started it as prayer meeting for the nations and it grew to being an international church planting/missions conference. I am eager to see what God is going to do with those we are bringing. They vary from new believers, to older Christians who have attended church without vision, accountability, and community, and mature Christians who want God to ruin their lives at any cost. Everyone from the Santa Cruz church plant is going and I hope we catch the vision of what is possible through the local church (Antioch has planted close to 45 communities worldwide). We are going early to attend their prayer meetings, since a move of God doesn't come through anything else than deep, desperate prayer.
