transatlantic conference call

As a start-up church, we've wanted to start having different churches and leaders on the cutting edge of creative and high-impact ministries invest in us as leaders of Eikon. It's always going to be a benefit to us to keep ideas coming that are fresh, and breathe new vision and inspiration into being the most effective team within our relatively small means. In some ways its been to our benefit to be on a shoestring budget because it's forced us to really make well-thought decisions on how best to use our resources.
Mark Batterson, Dave Clark and Joel Schmidgall video-conferenced with our team: from washington DC to Edinburgh. With some minor glitches in the beginning, we worked it out and spent some time bouncing questions off each other and gleaning wisdom from these guys who really have one of the coolest Church-concepts around. They hate the publicity about it, but National Community Church is doing it. I video-taped the entire conference, so I'll get that onto the blog soon, you'll definetely want to check it out, it was really good.

Thanks to the NCC (National Community Church) team for your time, wisdom and partnership to us. Love you guys.
