The internet is TOO popular!

The response to the NPC Digital Cafe’ has been overwhelming and even though they’ve added another router it’s proving difficult to get connected.  The Cafe’ is literally PACKED all day.   So, before I get bumped off (I’m not going to use a connection that a pastor might want) when the Cafe’ fills back up after this general session – here are a few pictures from the last 24 hours:

Next . . Next . . . Next

I’m still here – just moving quickly between events and happenings to catch as many photos as possible. I’ve been getting a lot of requests to put up a photo gallery of the shots for the attendees to access. I’m working with Zondervan to get that approval and it looks positive at this point. Keep tuned for the next episode!

Here are a few shots from the last nights general session and the Jesus Painter. This guy is truly amazing – he did the entire painting in about 15 minutes while Josh Fox lead worship.

I’ll get caught up on the rest of my postings in a bit, hopefully!

Afternoon Sessions – Day 2

It’s probably just me; I think attendance was higher today than yesterday. There are A LOT of pastors and ministry leaders here; based upon my walk around this afternoon to the various sessions it certainly seems like more are here, or at least attending the afternoon sessions. Shane Hipps’ session entitled “The Gospel According to Electronic Culture: Why Changing the Methods Always Changes the Message” was so full they were sitting outside the door listening in. Here are some pics from todays sessions:

Afternoon Sessions

I managed to find each of the 16 afternoon seminars . . . thanks to one of the other volunteers who pointed me to a part of the resort I’d not yet been to. Most of the sessions were well attended – some brimming over with people. It was truly hard to not become engrossed in a few of the seminars – particularly Dan Kimball’s “They like Jesus but not the church” and Doug Pagitt’s “Wild Goose Chase: Pursuing a Wide-eyed, Hope Filled Christianity.”

Both Dan and Doug managed to pull me into their discussions and I found it difficult to move on to the other sessions. I’m certainly going to try and get more time at any other sessions they do . . .
