On October 22-24 the LEAD Conference begins in St. Louis. From the website...
We are gathering some of the best leaders to equip, encourage and employ up and coming urban leaders. Our focus will be on the theological and practical implications of ministry in an urban context. There will be three breakout tracks for leaders to participate in: Church Planting, Mercy, and Arts. ...We will learn together, grow together and change the world together.
The conference coincides with an Acts 29 Boot Camp, and the list of speakers is top notch: Bryan Chapell, Darrin Patrick, Daniel Montgomery, Eric Mason, Randy Nabors, and Matt Carter. Breakout tracks include church planting, arts, and mercy. Should be great. If things are ok at the time with my wife's "illness," I hope to go.
