2012 New England Regional Conference Day 1
There's a long history of gospel opposition in New England. The center of that opposition---even since Jonathan Edwards' day---can be found in churches in and around Boston. Thankfully, the Lord has preserved faithful churches along the way, in Boston and throughout New England, who have been filled with leaders, longing for God to bring renewal in New England.
Today, in Boston, over 1,200 pastors, church leaders, campus leaders, and concerned laypeople from all around New England gathered together at the first day of the 2012 TGC New England Regional Conference. There was loud singing and joyful longing for God to pour out his Spirit.
Friday began, at 3:00 pm with a pre-conference event, "The Gospel-Shaped Ministry" with Tim Keller.
A panel discussion with Stephen Um, David Wells, Richard Lints, and Tim Keller on particular challenges of contextualization.
