Help Send Me to Verge2012

UPDATE: The voting has now officially started! Please take 10 seconds and vote for me HERE.

 

Why should you send me to Verge2012?

1) I really want to go. Verge2012 has put together a great speaker lineup across the board, pulling from various missional, urban, international, etc. categories into one big event. As a church planter focused on a particular city and wanting to work with immigrants, there is a lot I can learn here!

2) Free beats paying. Right now, I’m busy building church partnerships to fund our endeavors in NYC as well as working full time to cover the bills. I might be able to spring some money for the conference (Christmas present?), but I still have to get to Austin, TX from Kansas City, find a place to stay, and eat. And going for free would solve all those problems…

3) The “For the Nations” Post-conference. David Platt, Ying Kai (who co-authored the T4T book we will be heavily using in our NYC work), and many others will be focusing a day specifically on reaching the nations. I’m assuming someone going to New York to work among Bangladeshis could use this!

So there’s a few reasons I want to go. I could tell some sob story or put a picture of my adorable 7 month old daughter on here, but I won’t.

So I guess in order to help me win, you’ll need to vote AT THIS PAGE, for one week only — from Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2011 until Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 11:59pm CDT. Every vote counts!
