I’m no Apostle Paul
What goes into planning a conference? Probably a lot more than you would think. It’s not rocket science, but it involves a lot of different elements.
At the moment we are working on:
- promotion to people outside of Sovereign Grace
- blog
- promo video
- volunteers (ushers, ninjas, bookstore, intercessory prayer team, etc.)
- affinity groups
- worship
- community groups
- sound, lighting, video
- a host of logistical details
- (And we’re also negotiating contracts for Next 2011 and 2012.)
The Apostle Paul said, “I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me” (1 Corinthians 15:10). In no way am I comparing any of us to the Apostle Paul! But if he was aware of the working—of the need—of God’s grace, how much more do we need it?!
As you think of it, please pray for the Next team as we are, on a daily basis, working on the conference. We’ll do our part, but we are dependent on God and his grace.

I have not been to Next (Lord willing, I will be able to go for the first time this year). Although I have not been, I have heard many stories from people in my church of what a blessing this is. Thank you all for making this happen. I will be praying for you as God brings you all to mind. God bless you!
We’ll be praying for you bro! So grateful for all the work you put into this and your heart to serve with joy. Many thanks.
With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. 2 Thess 1:11
Praying!
Paul-THANK YOU!!!! Keeping you in prayer.
