I am especially interested in hearing the recommendations and discussion concerning "The Great Commission Resurgence" vision set forth by Johnny Hunt. For more information on "The Great Commission Resurgence" go to http://www.greatcommissionresurgence.com/.

Of course, there will be a lot of other items of business, presentations, and resolutions to be presented as well.

However, what I am most looking forward to this year is spending time with my son.
