Thank you for participating in this year's Conference.
As I began preparing for this year’s event, I decided I must practice what I have been preaching about THINKING. I determined that it was time to RE-PURPOSE our event therefore, conducting this year’s conference as a SPIRITUAL RETREAT; making urgent business of the care of our souls.
I am so pleased that Morris Dirks, Director of SoulFormation agreed to lead this spiritual retreat. Morris dedicated his life to soul care, and I am blessed and challenged as to what God said to us through him. We will make no difference in our neighborhoods, or anywhere else for that matter, if our lives are out of sync with the heart of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.
