CM2007 in Busan, Korea

Hello from beautiful Busan, Korea. We've been here for a couple of days now, and it has been really amazing. There are students here from over 127 countries and there are about 7,000 total here right now. Tomorrow more that 13,000 more Korean students will join us and I can't even imagine what it is going to be like. Already it has been so cool. Just walking down the hall and seeing people from Albania, Swaziland, Togo, Ukraine, Argentina, New Zealand and more is so much fun. Knowing that they are all Christians here to learn more about starting movements in their countries and going to other countries to start movements on un-reached campuses makes it even sweeter.

You can see more about the who all is at the conference by clicking here.

Here are a few pictures from our time here so far:


This is the main stage. It's in a room big enough to park an airliner.


It's hard to get a feel for how big the place is with pictures.


A little glimpse of the range of nationalities during praise and worship.



Liza having lunch with a group of Indonesians.


Some Africans eating lunch nearby. We have boxed lunches and dinner provided for all 18,000 people. It's really quite amazing. Today we had big macs for lunch, but then a box of something I couldn't quite identify for dinner. It was good... but a bit spicy.


A hillside in Busan. This city is the second largest in Korea and is very beautiful.


The outside of the convention center.


Liza eating dinner with a Kenyon. If you look carefully at the food in the lower right of her plate, you'd see the tentacles of squid. I avoided that particular part of the meal. :-)
