Today was the unofficial official kick-off for Exponential 2009.  I arrived last evening into Orlando and the conference was officially kicked off at 1:00 PM with the Pre-Conference Intensive workshops.  It is great to spend some quality time with Mark DeYmaz and Harry Li of Mosaic Church of Little Rock.  We are doing the Multi-Ethnic church planting conference together.  Actually they are doing the bulk of the teaching.  I just get to help make it all happen.  Several guys from Westbrook are now in for the duration of the conference.  It’s going to be great.  I’m looking forward to hearing Erwin McManus, Craig Groeschel, Bob Roberts, Ajai Lall and Francis Chan among others.
