How small the world has become. Sunday night I left Uganda and Monday I arrived in Charleston, South Carolina! I met up with Pastor Dino, Dan, and Marc to attend the Multi-Site Expo hosted by Seacoast Church. This is an incredible opportunity to meet, share and glean ideas from some other churches that are doing multi-site. I even have the privilege to teach a breakout session. Here is a picture of me with Mark Batterson, pastor of National Community Church in Washington DC (and author of some fantastic books).

I am really enjoying this conference and all that we are learning about how to more effectively do church, but I must admit I am thrilled to be home tonight after two weeks away from my family!

This has been a great trip to Africa. I have been able to hang out with two of our campus pastors Ben and Isaac. Ben, pastors our HPC campus in Swaziland and Isaac, pastors our HPC campus in Mozambique. These guys are the best. We are at the Watoto Conference in Kampala Uganda at KPC a great church pastored by Gary and Marilyn Skinner. I have been a lot of places and seen many great models of reaching the poor and building the church but this is the first place I have seen all the components working as one. I tell you it is changing this country. We are so excited about everything we are learning at this conference. We are thrilled to be a part of such a great ministry! Oh yes, it was cool meeting Brian and Bobbie Houston they are very cool down to earth followers of Jesus Christ.
