Brand new this year, we have launched a “GPG Live” blog presence through the IJM Institute. When you go to this page: http://www.ijminstitute.org/index.php/gpglive you will find a team of IJM staff providing coverage of the GPG, moment by moment, in real time. We will post photos, prayer requests, and more. We hope this will give you an extra layer of participation in the event, a record to look back to, and a website to point your friends, family, and church to as well. Please do invite others to track with this event, moment by moment, starting Friday afternoon!
Friday // March 27, 2009

We are so grateful for your prayers and hope to know that you are participating with us from wherever you are!
Thank you. This is a great way to be with you a little bit without paying for an expensive flight from Germany to the US.
I will follow the GPG via the web.
Thanks and have a blessed time to bless others!
I am attending the IJM conference for the first time (and rather excited about the opportunity). Random question....but what is the attire for Friday night dinner??
Lynn - definitely not a random question! GPG participants are sometimes surprised by the flank of dark suits - many DC locals and IJM staffers come straight from the office and are in business attire. In general, people tend to be a bit more formal Friday night, but then quite casual throughout the rest of the weekend. Hope that helps - see you soon!
I know there still one more session left tomorrow morning, but I wanted to take a moment and say ‘thank you’ to everyone who has organized GPG09 and helped make it happen. What an amazing experience.
