It’s finally that time of year again!  This coming Thursday and Friday, ministry leaders from all over the world will gather at Willow Creek and many satellite broadcast locations, to hear the leadership wisdom & inspiration of Bill Hybels along with an A-list of speakers he has gathered for the event.

As a pre-summit teaser, the attendees received a download of the first chapter of Bill’s book, The Power of a Whisper.  I read it last night and it actually had me reliving the moments when I have heard God’s whisper and understanding them in a whole new way.

If you would like to attend, follow this link to a listing of U.S. and Canadian satellite locations.  There may still be seats available.

There are always some special surprises, like the song I used on my latest video.  It was performed after one of the lunch breaks in 2008, and was requested for purchase by so many people in attendance, that a demo version was posted for download as a gift to the attendees.

I promise to post the highlights just as quick as I can!
