CPM Conference
Well, the last couple weeks have been pretty hectic for me. I had to put off blogging for a while, partly because I was working a lot and partly because I just didn’t want to spend time blogging when I finally got the free time.
CityTeam is holding a conference on church-planting ministries (CPM) led by David Watson. I usually wouldn’t post about a conference (boooooooring), but I thought this one was worth mentioning for a couple reasons. The first obviously is because of the purpose of the conference – CPM. It’s a very unconventional way of going out planting churches, and it may blow some of your minds in what is being lectured, but it is definitely worth looking into if you’re interested in church-planting in any sense. David Watson has decades under his belt with this model of CPM that he has created and God has used him in bringing thousands of people to Christ.
The second reason is that this conference is heavily covered on the internet. David’s son Paul has taken on the task of broadcasting this conference live on USTREAM, and also uploading the video clips to watch past sessions as they come. Paul has also encouraged those who are use Twitter to tweet about the conference throughout the week, which has brought it to the attention of thousands of people that would not even heard of the conference otherwise.
I think it’s amazing to see how far CityTeam has come in making a presence on the internet. And with that said, I’ll drop down a few links if you feel like you want to follow the conference
-The broadcast in English or in Spanish
-Twitter profile for David Watson (Leading the conference), Paul Watson (Broadcasting and tweeting on the conference), and Patrick Robertson (President of CityTeam). There are a number of other people who are tweeting, but if go to this search it will show all the tweets that are being done about the conference (tweets with the #hashtag “ct09″).
P.S. When you go to the #ct09 search link, you may have to hit the “search” button again to update the tweets.
