Acts 29 Church Planting Conference

Almost a couple of weeks ago Dan, Halle and I were privileged to be able to attend an Acts 29 Church Planting Conference in Raliegh, NC. Acts 29 is a church planting network that helps equip pastors from all over the nation to plant or replant dying churches. "Acts 29 is a network of like-minded, yet diverse churches that have banded together to plant gospel-centered churches that are missionally minded, culturally engaged and theologically orthodox. Acts 29 is first Christians, second Evangelicals, third Missional, and fourth Reformed." The network has almost 200 churches. On this trip Dan and I went through the assessment process to possibly be accepted and represented by the Acts 29 network. The trip was amazing! The resources, material, and speakers they had there were so helpful and enlightening. Tuesday and Wednesday we got to hear from Pastor Mark Driscoll, Wayne Grudem, Scott Thomas, Dr. Daniel Aiken and many  more. They also had a wives track that Sarah and I were able to attend that was taught by other church planters wives. Friday Dan and I went through a 2 hour interview in a room full of Acts 29 members. It was intense but also really helpful.  We look forward to hearing back from them!

Dan and I are HUGE fans of Pastor Mark Driscoll's teachings. Through his sermons Jesus has really spoke to us and changed us in many areas of our lives. We are so thankful for his service and dedication to Jesus and preaching the Bible. Pastor Mark Driscoll is the founding pastor and teaching pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle. He also is the co founder and president of the Acts 29 Network. Dan and I were ecstatic to get to meet Pastor Mark, gain some insight on church planting and tell him how thankful we are for him. In this picture is the Q and A panel they had with Tyler Jones, Wayne Grudem, Pastor Mark, Scott Thomas.
We could not have taken this trip if it were not for Brent and Sarah and Four Points Church. We are so extremely thankful for the opportunity. Thank you guys! We love you very much! We are blessed to call you DEAR friends and serve underneath you at Four Points!
