SESSIONS

PRE-CONFERENCE EQUIPPING LAB: Kingdom Collaboration for Church Planting in San Diego (and Your City) — Hosted by San Diego Church Plant Movement
A vision was cast in 2013 to see 10 new churches planted in San Diego within 10 years. In early 2020, 8 of those 10 churches will have been planted in just 7 years! How did that happen? Are there any lessons to be gleaned from the early stages of this Kingdom collaborative movement that can be applied in your respective context? In this Equippiing Lab, co-catalysts from the San Diego Church Planting Movement will share their journey and insights thus far as they continue to pioneer forward in asking God to change the spiritual landscape of San Diego through church planting.
Day / Time: Wednesday 9:00am – 11:30am
Location: Kids 456

MAIN SESSION 5: Made to WIN More
The enemy will do everything possible to thwart God's plan for more mobilization as described in Ephesians. But in Christ, we are called to win this battle. To do so, we much consecrate ourselves for Jesus and his mission. Individually, the enemy will attempt to hinder God's fullness in us. Corporately, when Paul speaks of "principalities and powers," it is another way of saying systems of oppression, influenced by the demonic. But, the good news is we are made to "WIN" this battle and are commissioned for "MORE!"
