After waiting for more partnerships to materialize, I have decided that our first pastors conference will take place in July on the 22, 23 and 24th.

We will begin by organizing a team in the US that can commit to 2 full weeks with 3 weekends in late July. The dates I see working well are the 13th - 31st. Details on how the team will look in size and specialty will emerge as we look at the highlights of the conference focus.

So far, I foresee the need for:

1. 1-2 video / technical people
2. 3+ intercessory prayer warriors
3. 3-5 seasoned pastors / evangelists
4. A worship / concert band for outreaches
5. Childrens ministry leaders, to train childrens ministry leaders at conference.

Just like any minstry effort, heart is the greatest asset. I have great confidence that going with us on this trip will open new doors of burden and an unequaled sense of purpose in any believer who accompanies us.

1-3 different church groups would also be an ideal representation. The ultimate vision of CGI, as you can see when you review the site, is to create a bridge that connects churches in the US to churches in India. If our team includes members from different churches, we’ll create opportunities to spread out into teams going to different churches for the purpose of developing partnerships.

The next post will be an update on how plans are forming with the great new relationships we have at our new church, Living Hope
