Transformation: It Starts in the Heart of One

The 2010 Exponential Conference will be in sunny Orlando, FL, April 19-22, 2010.  Transformation: It starts in the heart of one is our theme.  When what breaks the heart of God breaks the heart of a leader, transformation activates that leader and permeates the new church that leader begins.  When what breaks the heart of God breaks the heart of a church, transformation remakes that church and spreads throughout a city through new churches and life-changing ministries.  When what breaks the heart of God breaks the heart of a city, transformation marshals God's resources and community assets to meet needs around the world.

But first, transformation must begin in the heart of one.

Now is the time for transformed leaders to lead in the transformation of our churches and our cities. The next generation of churches can no longer be satisfied with just “saving souls,” nor will it be content with “meeting physical needs” void of the love of Jesus. We can no longer be complacent about 67% of the world not knowing a love relationship with God in Jesus. We can no longer stand by and let 20% of our world go to bed hungry and hopeless every night. Let us be churches that love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind; and our neighbors as ourselves. Let us plant churches and lead churches that experience and offer transformation.

The Exponential Conference is designed to inspire, equip, encourage and challenge church planting leaders.  The conference consists of approximately 15 pre-conference intensives, 5 main sessions, 60 workshops, and over 60 national leaders. Exponential provides:

  • - a safe place for church planting leaders to gather independent of their heritage or denomination.
  • - help for leaders to discern and commit to specific next steps in church planting.
  • - a national conversation about church planting.
  • - the most comprehensive array of high-quality services available anywhere in one place at one time.
  • - a "reunion" type atmosphere where planters commect, meet new friends, and reunite with old friends.

It’s exciting to serve you and your entire church planting team. Please let us know if there’s anything at all we can do to enhance your Exponential Conference experience. Our staff has already begun praying that transformation begins in our hearts and moves each of us to impact our world in God-honoring ways.
