Emerging Church Gathering in Latin America
Update: The Latins want to know WHO is coming down to Brazil for Tribal Generation. These guys have been coming up to Europe and USA for our events over the past 8 years. I feel bad that I cant make it to this really important event. I would like a few people trek on down and be with the wider family from all over South and Central America.
Are you going? Please send me an email and a little about yourself.
Original: Every two years, leaders from many emerging church networks around Latin America get together in Brazil for Encontro/Tribal Generation. This year its happening again - May 21-24. I was invited to speak, again, but alas, we are launching our Cooperative space the same weekend so I cant come. [My aplogies, Olgavaro] But you could. Its worth the trip. Details at Tribal Generation website.
Tribal Generation call themselves a "movement aimed at stimulating the implementation of new churches focused on the emergent generation known as the urban tribes." I have talked about them in my post "I go to Rio"

Ha! That biblical strapline makes me smile. If only more believers had the reputation of being Godly trouble-makers!

The "emerging" style church is also growing here in Mexico. For those that read Spanish:

Our conference was in Acapulco last December. Maybe having a conference in a sunny place like that in the winter will get more Europeans and North Americans to come down and get to know us...?

presumably from the bible verse quoted, only males leaders are considered part of the emerging church in latin america.

What language is this conference in? Not that I have the resources or time to go anyway, but as a pathetically monoglot American I wouldn't be able to get much out of it anyway if it's not in English. I say that as an indictment against myself of course.

Just trying to put plans together... to bring a young church planter/leader from here to Uberlandia for exposure and wanted to double-check you are indeed coming and... it's a bit sad, (hey it's great to meet and talk to you anytime!) but I understand. Greet your beautiful family for me! Ah, should I send an email and a little about myself? :D why do you need that? Blackmailing or what?!?

Gabi. I will not be there in person but will speak through video - either live feed or pre-prepared video.
Great that you are going. Yeeeaaahh Hungary!
