I will be out and about the next few weeks.

Monday: Church of God (Cleveland) National Church Planting Lab

Monday I will be up in Madisonville, KY teaching church planting lab for my COG friends. The Church of God (Cleveland) is one of two Christian denominations among the 25 largest that are growing. I have had the privilege to speak at the National Lab before in addition to some other events with the Church of God. Take a look here for more information.

Tuesday: InnovateChurch

Tuesday, I will be in Lynchburg, VA speaking at InnovateChurch sponsored by Thomas Road on Liberty Mountain. Because I have to leave early afternoon, thanks for Francis Chan for switching times with me.

Immediately after I speak, we will be meeting with people interested in pastor coaching networks. The InnovateChurch website explains:

Where do you go AFTER the conference? What do you do with all the challenging content, information, and inspiration you receive?
---We'd like to suggest NEXT NETWORKS.---
We're partnering with Ron Sylvia and Ed Stetzer of NEXT NETWORKS to offer you a coaching experience. On TUESDAY of the Innovate Church Conference Ron and Ed will be hosting a free luncheon, explaining the coaching that NEXT can provide.

I am looking forward to hanging with my twitter friend, Jonathan Falwell.

Wednesday (and the next 10 days), Germany, Italy, and France:

On Tuesday night, I take off for Germany. I will speak to a group of mission leaders and pastors in Frankfort, then take a group of pastors to Rome, Italy and Marseilles, France. My daughter, Kristen, will be coming along with me. You can follow along on the blog and on Twitter.

Then, we get into June... which I will write more about next week. But, for now:

June 1-6: Teaching at Southeastern

I will be teaching a doctrinal seminar and hanging out with my family in Raleigh Durham. My syllabus is here.

June 4-6: Advance09

I will be speaking at Advance09 and doing a panel discussion with John Piper and Mark Driscoll. You can visit the web page here. I look much more excited than the other speakers. ;-)

See you on the road, on the blog, on Twitter, or on Facebook.
