I was very impressed with the Canadian National Church Planting Congress today.

I had a small part of a much larger program. I did one session with Canadian denomination leaders, one panel about reaching Quebec, and a keynote session tonight with the whole group. It is simply amazing that all these denominations come together to work on the common agenda of planting churches throughout Canada.

Tomorrow, Alan Hirsch, Cam Roxburgh, and I will lead a panel on missional church issues.

I will write more soon.

The folks at Dallas Theological Seminary have invited Alan Roxburgh and me to come and me to come and lead a missional church conference (along with Bob Roberts and Eric Swanson). For more info, click the nifty graphic they made just for the blog... thanks, DTS.

They are looking for good examples of missional churches to highlight at the conference. If you have suggestions, particularly near the school, please leave their name, location, and any other helpful information in comment section or email us at research@lifeway.com.

Now, for confession:

When I preached at D.T.S. chapel last fall, I joked about the Left Behind series, so I am just glad they are having me back.
