Creative Conference 2009 Fort Lauderdale, Florida
|
| |
|
To get a vision for life that extends beyond the trivial, one
must seek God, who speaks to us in many ways. In the first century,
many of the letters sent between ministers were to encourage growth
of individuals, churches, and communities in a direction of which
God would approve. Although approval and acceptance are not the
same thing under the New Covenant, it is a good thing for Christians
to get about the business of growing.
|
| |
| For the creatively-minded Christian there are many resources,
but very little clear direction, inspiration, and concentration
of resources in one place. That is one of the several reasons why
Christian movies and books have not penetrated much into the general
market even though the information we have is more vital to the
interests of the general public than information from any other
source. |
| |
| Whirlwind Magazine's Creative Conference 2009 is a place to be
a major contributor to the solution to this dilemma. Through media
technology, communications is perhaps more opened and accessible
worldwide than at any other time in human history, except perhaps
in the Garden of Eden before the original human mistake. Christians
from all forms of creative perspectives and with many varied arrays
of experience and education will be present seeking inspiration
and ways to collaborate. The goal of the conference designers is
to maximize two things: (1) The establishment of relationships based
on mutual creative callings and (2) the realization of some practical
ways to work and generate income through these callings. |

it to be in the first half of 2009 and somewhere in the greater
Fort Lauderdale area. The number of consecutive days for the event
and whether the event will be over the weekend or during the week
is also yet to be determined. As various organizations and churches
