Here’s one guy that thinks so.

Yesterday, 07Jun07, we finalized our candidacy with the Acts 29 Network. We are now officially a part of this network of Gospel-centered, Christocentric, church-planting churches.

After I return from the Tanzania medical mission trip I will be meeting with other regional Acts 29 pastors to look at other possible church plants in the region. On the radar: Birmingham, Macon, Nashville, Memphis.

Sojourn is in the final stages of candidacy with the Acts 29 Network. It is an amazing group of church planters and leaders. Below is a blog from the leadership clarifying some misconceptions and misrepresentations about the network. I will reproduce it in its entirety. The original may be found at acts29network.org/acts-29-blog/seven-misrepresentations-of-acts-29. Note that there are several hyperlinks at the original site that are not listed here.

Drew Goodmanson summarizes Dr. Michael Goheen from a recent Acts 29 conference. Goheen gave 12 priorities for church planting, were he to do it again. Goodstuf. BTW, Drew is an elder at Kaleo Church in San Diego. They are an Acts 29 church that is committed to Christ and their city. RSS his blog.

We are in the final steps of partnership with the Acts 29 Network. The last couple of days have seen several communications back and forth between Sojourn and A29. Yesterday, they received a signed covenant from me and they finalized their background checks. We are in the final stage as a “candidate” church. I now have access to church planter coaching and other resources. Sweet! The “Welcome to Acts 29” email was music to my eyes. ;)

David reports that Sojourn received a welcome to the Acts 29 Network yesterday. Praise God. We’re all excited about coming on board with them.

I’m excited to see where this ship goes …

The St. Louis Dispatch reports on increasing enmity from parts of the SBC towards the emerging church, especially Acts 29. What’s interesting is that the leader of this battle on the SBC side is not even a pastor, but someone whose “influence comes from his knowledge of the way the Missouri Baptist Convention is set up.” Hmmm. It’s also noteworthy that the enmity seems to be one-way.
