The first Plenary Session was led by Wayne Cordeiro. Wayne’s book “Doing Church as a Team” is one of my favorites. It was a pretty typical first session with encouragement to stay near God and let the Holy Spirit guide everything you do. Not really alot of new or deep information, but very good to [...]
