The Exponential Conference is the largest gathering of church planters there is. Best way I know how to describe it is 5000 people who think everyone will be baptized tomorrow. There is a lot of apostolic and evangelistic energy. My first thought has been it was in Orlando 3 years ago, at the International Children's Ministry Conference, that my 20 chapters a day journey got kick started. I read the Bible in 18 days in January of 2020. The big push came in Orlando, in chunks of time around the Conference.
Our church is going through the disaffiliation process--vote 453--7 for disaffiliation. One of our pastors is speaking with some approval and enthusiasm about church planters. This attitude is a celebration for a 155 yr old church with many members, sometimes trying to protect (rightfully) its own turf. Nevertheless , its a celebration for any of us to be able to think outside of our own "box." Blessings on you as you and Jessie drive to her parents' home...
