Global Network Conference 2010

[BeenThinkin]

Were there any of the AFF'ers in attendance at GMCM Conference this week? DA I looked for you but couldn't find anyone with glasses that looked like yours.

If you were there what did you think of it?

Crowd seemed to not be as large as I would have expected!

I didn't attend all services. Was there Tuesday night. Chris Hodges I though was excellent. I didn't listen with ideas in mind that he didn't have all the truth...just listened to what he had to say. Again I thought it was excellent.

John Hagee did a good job defining his ministry with Israel and the Jews.

Heard only last part of Nancy Alcorn. She was passionate and very informative.

Randy Clark... I've heard him do better.

Again, I was not there for all of it.... so who am I to judge? But, IMO there have been better conferences.

The number I kept hearing was 300-350 ministers attended ... of course that would be spread out ...

Wed. nite is a normal Grace service night .... which may account for Tuesday's thinner #'s.

I won't drop names but there were several current UPCI ministers in attendance ... as well as a veritable who's who of the past ... liberal rabble rousers.

All stated it was one of the best conferences they had been to..
Most importantly, the Holy Spirit manifested.

I enjoyed the after party last night ... was shocked that a handful are reading here at AFF.

As for Joel Osteen ... I understand he didn't "speak" per se ...

He was interviewed by Scott Jones, the chairman .... a UPCI minister remarked that they were stunned by Osteen's humility

The consensus was that Chris Hodges, who spoke multiple times, stole the show.

There seemed to be great reverence, gratitude and respect to elders who have brought us thus far ... while not being satisfied with the status quo and blazing a path to a "greater glory" in God.

I've heard some say that it's the best conference they've had yet. I had to cancel our plans at the last minute and didn't get to attend. I would have loved to have seen everyone.

I wasn't there so I was on of them that you didn't see.

So any number estimate? I know there are many things more important than the crowd but since they obviously, to me anyway, went for a crowd by using Hagee and Osteen, I'm just wondering how much success they had with it.

Not sure it was directed at the laity, MS. There wasn't a lot of promotion for this conference at the local church level ... yes they shared the lineup ... but not pushed hard ...

Those familiar with Global know its push is toward networking ministers ... and not churches

[Michael The Disciple]

So Joel Osteen is held in esteem by this group? And its considered a good and reputable organization? How do you all feel about his teaching? Is he a minister of the Apostles doctrine?
