Conference Details - Response Requested

CAMex Conference 2008, Being Disciple-Making Disciples, is now less than a month away! We are looking forward to seeing how God will work though this time. Here are a few last details:

  1. Registration will take place between 3 and 4:30 PM on Friday, November 28. Our first session will start at 5:00 PM, and once again this year YOU WILL WANT TO BE IN YOUR SEATS ON TIME!

  1. Conference will end on Monday, December 1, after comida – scheduled for 1:30 PM.

  1. Please let me know ASAP if you need a hotel room either the night before or the night after conference.

  1. Here are last year’s directions to the hotel – it should still be the same as last year except maybe cuota prices and construction areas.

  1. We will be doing OUR LAST EVER FD and CD evaluations – CAMex missionaries please print them and fill them out to turn in at registration.

  1. Our conference speaker, Dr. Randy Pelton, has asked us to interact with two questions:

(1) What have you found most frustrating about being a disciple while functioning as a missionary?

(2) What have you found most frustrating about making disciples while functioning as a missionary?

*Please take a little time to answer these questions by e-mailing Randy directly at randy@cbcmj.com

Please let us know if you have any questions. We are looking forward to a great conference – please be in prayer for all aspects of it.

God Bless,

Bryan, for the Bajio Circuit
