Great Day with Mark Batterson

We had a remarkable day with Mark Batterson on campus yesterday.

It actually began Tuesday evening, when Mark visited our Master of Ministry classroom as a guest speaker during the first session of our Communication for Ministry course. The pastor of National Community Church in DC (www.theaterchurch.com) talked about his experience with planting the DC church, and spoke at length about the use of the web and social networking tools in connecting people. (Mark has some experienec with that -- his blog gets 17 million hits a year!)

On Wednesday he spoke to an overflow crowd at campus worship, then spent an hour visiting with more than 100 students and participants in our new Young Leaders Network.

Mark Batterson is the kind of gifted leader and communicator we are blessed to involve in the M.Min. program here at Anderson. We look forward to having him back!
