NCLI - Day 3

Well, we didn't get to the daily update yesterday, so here it goes.

We covered a number of topics yesterday. These included:

Assembling the launch team (gathering the people)
Organizing people through connecting and tasking
Calculating the public launch timeline

I have to say that this was probably the day that makes the trip all worthwhile. The dynamics of the speaker continued to be interactive and engaging.

The key component was the working out of the launch timeline...it looks like we will be working on a six month launch schedule (more about this in an upcoming post).

As the day begins on this fourth day, we are back to monotonous reading and story telling and there appears to be a lot of duplication. Much of what we are dealing with so far this morning is first impressions and visitor vs. guest stuff and signage. For someone that has been through the conferences church transformation process (or has had any experience with church consultants) this is all old hat stuff (think Igniting Ministries, etc). The upside is that later today we move into the third of three training workshops with new speakers.

Stay tuned, especially after the conference is over, as we process some of the things we learned this week. I am very curious what other church planters have experienced.

I will update you about Day 4 either later this evening or early tomorrow.
