Friday is for....

I will be coming to the states during August and we are excited about these opportunities with The Upstream Collective. If you are in these cities I hope you can check them out if intereste

So, I guess Friday is for talking about a few upcoming events that I am involved in.

August 17, Springfield, Missouri- About Europe Meeting

August 27th, Nashville, Tennessee - About Europe Meeting

The goal of our About Europe Meeting is to see missional churches engaging people in Europe in redemptive relationships.

We think that the Great Commission belongs to the church. Your leadership, service, gifting, and creativity make you perfectly qualified for innovative approaches to sharing life with people from around the world. You strive toward incarnation of the gospel in your local community. You need to be doing that same sort of missional engagement globally.

Europe is the perfect place to connect with people from all over the world, from postmodern Europeans to Muslim immigrants to African refugees. Post-Christian Europe isn’t just a vital mission field; your interaction will give you insight into the coming American reality

If you are in these areas and interested in this conference send me an email at larry@theupstreamcollective.org

August 28th and 29th - Atlanta, Georgia

GO Conference (click here to learn more about the conference and contact details if interested in attending) sponsored with Marketplace Intiatives and SkyBridge Community.

We invite you to join Marketplace Initiatives at a gathering beginning at 5:00 PM on Friday, August 28 and lasting until 4:00 PM on Saturday, August 29. This gathering will seek to explore how God might use individuals’ and corporations’ marketplace activities to expand His Kingdom. A select group of friends will come together to learn and discuss the potential for ministries through the marketplace in Europe, North Africa, and Turkey. Since the group will be small, there will be plenty of opportunities to interact, contribute, ask questions, explore possibilities, and learn from each other.

Several leaders with successful experience in cross-cultural work and ministry through the marketplace will facilitate this gathering and share lessons they have learned about:

• Business as Mission and/or tentmaking in real life
• The balance work and ministry and how to do what it takes to succeed at both
• How God can use you to make the greatest impact
• How to take the next steps

August 31st - Birmingham, Alabama - The Church As Missionary Roundtable with the Developing Church Network. Register here . Join us with our friends from DCN for a day of conversations about how the church can connect globally and some practical steps in making that happen.

We would love to see you at one of these events.

As We Go,

Larry
