Op de City2City conferentie in Lissabon…
zijn meer dan 400 kerkplanters (en mensen die daarbij op andere manieren betrokken zijn) bij elkaar.
Ze ontmoeten elkaar in een 3-daagse conferentie vol sprekers en workshops.
De rest van de tijd is voor ontmoeting, netwerken en voor aanbidding en bemoediging.
Op deze website hoop ik elke dag een verslag te posten van wat onderstaande mensen zullen vertellen
Wie spreken er
- Neil MacMillan
- Stefan Paas
- Giotis Kartartzis
- Neil Powell
- Jurjen ten Brinke
En daarnaast zijn er zo’n 20 workshops.
