Wow, January is shaping up to be a wild ride. I really enjoy living a full life, but January may be a bit too full, even for me. Nevertheless, it should be fun. Here's where I'll be and when. Of course, I'll try to share some posts from these events to let you in on the fun.
- January 9-20 - Doctor of Ministry class at Fuller. At least I don't have to travel across the country for this anymore. I'll be in class from 8-4 every day with two of the sharpest minds in the church today, Alan Roxburgh and Mark Lau Branson. This is always a stretching time and I have benefited so much from this program at Fuller. If you're a pastor you should check it out.
- January 23-26 - Consultation for North American Division. A group of about 9 pastors are meeting with Paul Richardson of the Center for Creative Ministry and Monte Sahlin to work on developing a discipleship curriculum for the North American Division. The finished product will be a Web based series of units (material, ideas and activities that can be done in one to four hours) with PowerPoint slides and video clips that a pastor or church leader can use in a seminar, Sabbath School class, or other setting to mentor and/or train the congregation to reach the unchurched and engage members in becoming disciplers.
- As a fringe benefit of this trip I'm running up to Philly to see friends for a day. Should be fun!
- January 28 - Peace Conference at La Sierra. Back in the Southland this time, this is day that you shouldn't miss. The two peace organizations (Adventist Peace Fellowship & Adventist Women for Peace) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church will be holding a one day conference at La Sierra. You can learn more about it here. My wife and I will be attending the afternoon portion, so let us know if you want to go along.
