In less than two weeks I will be headed to Chicago for the very first Kidmin Conference hosted by Group. I am over the top excited to get together with others in Children's Ministry for this time of conversations and learning.
Several of my friends are speaking and I wanted to take this time to learn more about them and what they will be sharing at the conference.

You can catch Matt's workshop called Wired for Ministry at the conference.
Here is a brief synopsis of what he will be sharing about there.
In a world that is moving quickly from the laptop to the mobile phone, how do you leverage the message of the gospel and the power of community to transform your outreach and discipleship? In this seminar we will discuss the importance of utilizing one of the few tools that people take with them everywhere they go, as well as how to effectively empower people to use smart phone technology to spread the gospel.
If you have a chance to chat with Matt at the conference, I definitely recommend you do so. You can also learn more about him and from him on his blog and connect with him on Twitter.
Thanks for posting this. Look forward to seeing you at the conference.
