DG National Conference 2011: Finish the Mission

This past weekend we spent in Minneapolis, MN at the Desiring God National Conference. It was an amazing weekend, opening our eyes to God's heart for the nations and what He is doing around the world.

We wanted to share this video...David Platt's talk was one of our favorites from the weekend.

If you want to listen to some of the other speakers, you can find all the videos on the Desiring God website: http://www.desiringgod.org/searches/2011%20national%20conference?utf8=%E2%9C%93




A few of the key speakers for the Frontier Missions track were really interesting to hear...check out their website and see what these ministries are all about!

 David Stitton, founder of To Every Tribe (www.toeverytribe.com)...

And Greg Livingstone, founder of Frontiers, a ministry specifically to Muslims (www.frontiers.org)

We also heard John Piper throughout the weekend, which was a huge blessing. He has had a huge influence on us, and it was a privilege to be there and hear him preach.

We had the joy of staying with a family from Bethlehem Baptist Church while we were at the conference, and they were amazing! So hospitable, and so much fun to be around. We really enjoyed their two kids, Sam and Sarah, and their big Bouvier Leah!

We took a group picture, but Sam was still asleep and Sarah didn't want to be in it...I don't blame her, we surprised them with the camera in their pajamas (sorry Kurt and Heather!).

Leah didn't mind the photoshoot though ;)

We left Minneapolis on Sunday and are trekking our way back to the Northwest. More to come!
