The Nines

On September 9 Leadership Network will once again host “The Nines”—an online conference geared to ministry leaders from over 100 ministry leaders, who each will give a 9 minute talk on “Game Changers.” Click on the link to see a brief video: http://thenines.leadnet.org/2010/tweet.html . Shoot! I may even have a one minute video on The Nines. Invite your staff. Order breakfast burritos…then Pizza, then Panda Express for all (It’s a long event.)

Imagine having a lone gunman enter your church property on a Sunday morning and randomly firing into the crowd, killing two beautiful girls in your congregation. That was Pastor Brady Boyd’s game-changer. Those few seconds of gunfire totally changed the future of New Life Church in Colorado Springs.

For Matt Carter, the game-changing moment came a few years back when he was diagnosed with cancer. It changed his whole outlook on life and ministry, and ultimately was a huge factor in the future direction at Austin Stone Community Church in Austin, TX.

And when Brad Powell, the Senior Pastor at NorthRidge Church near Detroit found out that a family that had been attending his church had been brutally murdered just weeks after they gave their lives to Christ, it forever changed the way that Brad viewed the urgency of the message he shares each week.

Game changers.

For Mark Beeson at Granger Community Church in Granger, IN, the game-changing moment was when he determined how he would deal with the critics in his life and ministry.

For Rick Bezet of New Life Church in Conway, AR, it was when ‘the light came on’ as to how New Life could actually be good at reaching the lost.

On September 9, 2010, Leadership Network has gathered over 100 church leaders to share their biggest game changer. They’ll be sharing at a completely online conference we’re calling "The NINES".

September 9, 2010 could also be the day that you discover YOUR game-changer.

For Wayne Cordeiro of New Hope Christian Fellowship in Honolulu, HI, the game changer was when he figured out that sometimes you have to say ‘no’… even to the people you love.

For Miles McPherson of The Rock Church in San Diego, the game-changing realization that he had more ministry potential in the seats of his church than he did on the staff of his church took The Rock to a whole different level!

Game changers.

We hope you’ll join us September 9. 9 hours. 100 speakers. Each with six minutes to share their game-changing moment.

It’s all on your computer screen. It’s all free.

But you must register to attend.

We know that The NINES will be a day of encouragement, a day of learning, and a day that many church leaders across the world will begin to define their own ‘game changer’.

Please join us… and tell everyone you know about this very special opportunity.
