The Whiteboard Sessions Conference in Virginia was out of this world!  There is a whole new world of great leaders and church planters out there that are completely sold out to Kingdom work.  I’ve got to tell you, it is absolutely refreshing!  God is doing a new thing among many.  You can find a lot of these guys here on my blog roll;  you should read them!  I come away from the conference with a clear direction for what and how we will reach that large, large percentage of unchurched, out of church, and never been to church folks.  I am convinced, it is not clothing, style, location, or building;  it is simply a sacrifice of what we like, to reach people that are separated from their father and doing anything short of sin to accomplish the mission.  It will be worth it!  Vince Antonucci, from Virginia Beach, really inspired me, and became a new friend.  He has the evangleistic passion of a Freddy Gage, the commitment to the Bible of George Whitfield, and the the creativity of Disney World!  The question he asked is, “Are you willing to sacrifice and be a part of a winning team?”  Most would say, “yes,” but do not realize what that really means.  The real answer is a whole different world.
