I am excited to speak at the National Outreach Convention in San Diego, CA, November 4-6.

If you received the brochure, I am the guy in the really little pic on the front cover, to the right, with the old fluffy hair cut and 125 pounds ago. ;-)

Efrem Smith and I will be keynoting the first night and there will be a special unannounced guest. That is not a marketing strategy; there is a reason that will become clear that night. It will be a good night and you won't want to miss it.

It looks like it will be a fun and challenging time.

Here is some information fom the website...

Here's what you can expect at NOC09...

Check out the website, you can become "a fan" of The Outreach Convention on Facebook, and you can follow them on Twitter.

I was the first to join the "twub" (and it is my first twub) so, I feel extra special. ;-)

This is an annual destination for me and I really appreciate my friends at Outreach. As a columnist for Outreach Magazine, part of the research team that works on the Outreach Magazine / LifeWay Research special report on the largest and fastest growing churches, and a regular part of the NOC, we value the friendship and partnership.

See you in sunny San Diego!
