A major part of a good conference is the networking and relationship-building. That’s me on the far right of the photo. I’m visiting with Mike Schroeder of Donorware. We talked about everything from leadership to technology to trusting God in difficult circumstances.

The Internet Ministry Conference opened on Wednesday night to a full house.
Kay and I are in Grand Rapids, Michigan where this morning it was 57 degrees (farenheit). Great weather.
I’m participating in the Internet Ministry Conference. About 100 of us. I’m hanging out with the heroes of internet ministry, both heroes in Campus Crusade for Christ and heroes from many other excellent ministries.
This is the first leg of a long journey. Over the next 3 weeks:
13-18 September: Dallas meetings with ministries (and grandkids!)
19-21 September: Internet Ministry Conference (Grand Rapids)
22-28 September: Global Operations and HR leadership conferences (Thailand)
29 September-2 October: Southeast Asia IT Leaders training (Thailand)
3-6 October: Global ConneXion leaders training (India)
8-10 October: Global Technology Leaders meeting (India)
11-12 October: Global Measurements training (India)
I enjoyed this contrast between modes of transportation in downtown Alexandria, Egypt. Horse-drawn buggy parked outside Air Arabia. Fun!
I’ve created a 1 minute video using some photos and music from our conference.
Kay and I have arrived in Bangkok to begin final preparations for MinistryNet 2007: Bangkok.
…a gathering for Campus Crusade for Christ staff involved in internet ministry (eMinistry). The conference will begin Sunday 15 April and end Thursday 19 April, 2007. The purpose of the conference is to connect people to people and people to God using internet technology so that everyone everywhere knows someone who truly follows Jesus.
Kay and I do several things to help promote increasing ministry fruitfulness through using internet communication tools. MinistryNet is one of them.
We’re expecting 100 people from 25 countries.
Kay traveled in Tuesday and arrived on Thursday morning just after midnight. I was delayed a day to make a presentation to Campus Crusade’s Global Leadership Team of the President and Vice-Presidents on the topic of measuring our ministry effectiveness in internet ministry. So 24 hours later on Wednesday, I began chasing Kay around the globe. I arrived Friday morning in the wee hours.
Prayer Request: Please pray for these 100 people as they are beginning to arrive. We start on Sunday evening. Please pray for my speaking as I welcome everyone on Sunday evening and set the tone of expectancy as we seek God’s blessings on increasing ministry fruitfulness.
Last year, hundreds of thousands came to know Jesus personally through our effective internet ministries. Each of these is personally followed up through hundreds of trained volunteers and Campus Crusade staff. MinistryNet is about doing more and better than ever before.
