Many people have asked me about NCFIC, you know, and they've asked me about my participation in the conferences and many people have said, “Well, aren't they extreme on the family or they do not put enough attention on the church or that they're not gospel-centered.” And I think, my goodness, you know, where are people hearing these things?
The reason why I come to these conferences is HeartCry and myself, we're all about planting churches. And we believe that the call, the great commission is not to just disciple, not just to evangelize, but to form churches, biblical sound churches that can reach the culture. And I have gained more insight and more help by coming to these conferences than all the other conferences I've ever participated in.
This [year's] NCFIC [conference]... I have never seen a conference that so existed to exalt Christ; that worked so hard to present men as men and not to exalt men. I've never seen such a love for the gospel of Jesus Christ in any other place that I've been, any other conference. And especially in this conference and especially with Brother Scott, I have never seen an individual who is more concerned about the bride of Jesus Christ and the local church.
I don't come here because I'm invited to speak. I come here because I've learned things that I've been able to take back to the mission field. And so that's why I have a deep respect for Brother Scott Brown and for NCFIC. And I will continue coming here as long as they ask me.
