Since my wife and I are currently on a mission in DR Congo Kinshasa I can certainly sympathize with your interests. I’ll be presenting remotely. As with previous conferences, videos of the event will be posted later and a book based on the conference will follow. Along with some of the other authors, I will post a copy of my presentation on my own website in the meantime (www.templethemes.net).
