In about a week, hundreds of people will be converging on the Minneapolis Convention Center for the Desiring God 2011 National Conference. I will be one of those people. I’m excited to hear from the speakers on this year’s theme, Finish the Mission: For the Joy of All Peoples Bringing the Gospel to the Unreached and Unengaged.
I think this will be a great conference to hear about international missions, as well as how people are engaging in missional ministry in their local contexts. I think one of the challenges for our youth ministry is how to train our youth to live in such a way that they’re always living intentionally, looking for opportunities to share the Gospel and express God’s love to their neighbors. I hope to be encouraged, challenged, and equipped at this conference.
Let me know if you’re planning to attend, as I would love to meet & grab some coffee or grub and hear about life and ministry in your context. I plan to blog from the event either live or between sessions.
