MinistryNet::Bangkok has begun

MinistryNet::Bangkok 2007 has begun. 100 people from 25 countries on 5 continents.

We started last night with a brief session then opened up the coffee shop. And they came and talked. And talked. And talked.

A major outcome we’ve prayed for is that people will network with one another, share ideas, dream, and trust God together. We set up whiteboards. We hung huge pads of paper for drawing. We put crayons and paper on the tables. We set up computers around the room. We provided coffee, tea, and treats.

And they networked. And they drew diagrams. They shared ministry processes and strategies.

It’s Monday afternoon here in Bangkok. We’re finishing our first full day.

I love international conferences. Our worship time was led by a Singapore and Thai praise team. Our devotional speaker Oumar from Mali spoke in French and his co-worker Daniel translated into English for us. Wouter from the Netherlands was the first main session speaker.

We heard about internet ministry activities and lessons learned in

• Korea
• Singapore
• Taiwan
• East Asia
• South Africa
• Mali
• Zambia
• Ghana

What a day! I can’t wait for tomorrow!
