Lost a Mentor This Week

Paul lives with Jesus now. He has heard magical words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” This week, I lost one of my longest mentors and friends when Paul Becker, 70, went home to be with Jesus after a long battle with cancer. Paul was the founder and President of Dynamic Church Planting International. We met around 1989 when I was an instructor at the International School of Theology in…

How to Start Church

On Tuesday I was involved in some on-line mentor training led by Dynamic Church Planting International (DCPI). All of the presenters were friends of mine and they did a fantastic job of sharpening our focus on how to mentor the church planters with whom we are working. And like any good mentor, each of them reminded all of us who were participating, of things we already knew—-but may have…

D23 is the most fun and amazing Disney experience ever created outside of the celebrated Disney Parks & Resorts, this event takes place every two years in the City of Anaheim. Home of the "Happiest Place on Earth" Disneyland ♡

"All the magic and excitement of the past, present, and future of Disney entertainment comes together under one roof when D23: The Official Disney Fan Club presents D23 Expo."  -- The Official Disney Fan Club

This year at D23 we got array of surprises and got to see first hand new products coming to the parks and retail stores. Let's take a look at the fun new surprises coming to the different resorts.

The Disneyland Resort in Anaheim will obviously be getting a new Star Wars land as promised at previous D23 but what they didn't mention was the lands official name will be Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. Take a look at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Showcase featured at D23

Then the Magic Kingdom will also be getting a luxury resort that is all immersive with Star Wars Resort. Both Magic Kingdom and & Disneyland will get more Pixar, with Pixar Pier coming to Disneyland's California Adventure Park and take over the Paradise Pier. Then a Toy Story Land will go to Hollywood Land in Walt Disney World as well as a new attraction Tron Legacy which I can not wait for all of this! Take a look at all Bob Chapek Chairman of The Walt Disney Parks & Resort had to announce.

Also another fun thing to see at the D23 Expo was I got to see some of the best and fun cosplay ever from disney fans every where take a look! Mulan was one of my favorites so Elegant and beautiful. Also Princess Jasmine in her red seductress outfit, I love it!

Then there was fun places to go as a guest and take some fun pictures, like the Duck Tales photo op provided by the new show launching on Disney XD. Or the Luxo Ball backdrop near the Pixar Animation showcase. Also the Pirate of the Carribean 50th Anniversary photo opportunity celebrating the attractions milestone. So many things to do and see.

One of my favorite expierence was the ability to meet an ICON.

EDNA MODE

I normally don't get star struck, Edna & Rihanna are probably the only two I totally loose it. She is ICONIC! I love fashion, design, and consumer sciences. Edna embodies art, design, and strong attentions to details. Edna Mode is everything! Edna and I talked about the new Incredibles films to how Doctor Strange needs to loose the cape. Zendaya's look at the Met Gala gave us life in that Dolce & Gabanna piece and how Luxury Law Roach is changing imagery and is a Image Architect.  She also said tid bits of new collections coming to Milan's Fashion Week. Truly Honestly Truly ICONIC.

Pixar always has a lot of announcements to make and display at D23 from  COCO, Incredibles, Toy Story sooooo many great films coming our way and Cars 3 feature was adorable I loved Fritter Bus ...

Disney Animation also gave a closer look at the new WRECK IT RALPH 2 FILM! Where Ralph Wrecks the Internet, URL Life will never be the same! I cant wait for that film to release I loveddddddddddd the first film soooooo much ! I do hope they expand on the Wreck It Ralph franchise and bring the characters to the resort, because Vanelope was great but lets not forget CAPTAIN CALHOUN!!! was my favorite, and is my favorite Disney Character of all time. One of the great things they mentioned at the panel was that disney princess will be in film with original character voice reunited for this film. SOOOOO EXCITED!

I am already overwhelmed just thinking about all the amazing things happening! Now lets get into things I love most Merchandise!!!! Some great things this year at D23 was a bigger presence of Disney's Consumer Products & Imagineering. My most favorite place of all where the Magic gets to come home with you in neat products. This year I was able to visit and look at the DCPI showcase and look at fun merchandise from death star popcorn makers, to OH MY Disney stage featuring fashion and all fun things.

Now I wasnt able to make it into the Disney Store unfortunately it had a 3hr+ waiting line, or Mickey's of Glendale (MOG) and I had a ton of things to see. I was able to make it into the:

DREAM STORE

Which the Dream Store truly gets the importance of coordinating lines, they get it truly since the Dream Store is operated by Disneyland Parks & Resort Store Ops Team! WHOOT WHOOT goo Resort Store Ops!! There was sooo much to see and buy! Exclusive merch to art to new minnie mouse ear headbands coming to resort in Sept! All that good good !! Honestly amazing work from Miss Mindy and her new sculptures and art, Jerrod Maruyama new hipster minnie and small world piece, Shags art piece, John Coulter's villains !!!! soo good #ded!!!! Take a look!

If you are like me then you will room the entire expo and admire all wonderful things to see from a man making a groot from balloons, to spiderman lego figure. Or even admire the gowns from Disney films of princess or Minnie Mouse uber chic Haute Collection of her own. Even having live demonstrations.

This event is soo great and amazing. This year Disney celebrated some amazing people who helped shape ABC,MARVEL,STAR WARS,ANIMATION,FILM. Such as our beloved Princess Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamil, Marvel Legend Stan Lee, Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, Clyde “Gerry” Geronimi, Manuel Gonzales, Wayne Jackson, Jack Kirby, Garry Marshall, and Julie Taymor. All whom were recipients of this coveted award and have left such distinct impacts in their field and Walt Disney Company.

I can't wait to see all the amazing projects presented unfold and what's to come to the future D23.

Until next time D23.

From the Cutting Edge of Church Planting

The following is an account of Gospel victory among a distinct but small people group in the Philippines. Why is this important? Well, it is important for at least 5 reasons:

Scripture says that heaven will be composed of peoples from every tribe and tongue (Rev. 14:6).

All peoples are significant and need the gospel no matter how many or few there are (Acts 17:26-27).

Christians will be…
