PD Summit and PEACE Plan

Last week at the Purpose Driven Network Summit, the 1500+ pastors and leaders in attendance received lots of great teaching from Pastor Rick Warren as well as encouraging ministry insights from 5 panels with a total of 35 leading pastors.

Here are some great blog highlights from the main sessions I'd found --

Rob Wegner and Chris Stevens had great blog notes too. A surprise find was Mark Beeson's blog and his super blog entries with illustrative photos! (I don't find many silver-haired guys who can preach well and blog well too.) And, Perry Noble took exciting notes from Session 2 and Session 1.

Dave Ferguson and Mark Batterson caught & gleaned insights from Rick Warren during an evening round table for pastors who were panelists -- looked like a special time! (that was a blogger-free zone so pastors could talk freely *grin*)

I spent most of the time behind the scenes with panelists and pastors about their insights and experiences from their respective ministries. These interviews were live-streamed over the web, and have been recorded for viewing anytime at Ustream. 3 videos I'd refer you to: a discussion on new media and the church (with Mike Foster, Tony Steward, Carlos Whittaker, and yours truly), an inside look at running a multi-site campus, and church planting in small towns. You can also see a cameo from Rick Warren about 9 minutes into this video interview with Miles McPherson and Bobby Gruenewald.
