Due to unforeseen circumstances, our originally scheduled speaker, William P. Young, is unable to be with us for our January meeting. However, we're in for a real treat as author David Mitts has agreed to step in. David has written four books and is the founder and senior pastor of One New Man Ministry. He began writing while living in Israel with his family. His first book, Love versus Law or Both, brought together his unique life experience of being raised Jewish and then receiving Jesus (Yeshua) as his Messiah. David's incredible story and heart for ministry are sure to bless everyone who attends this meeting. (We are working to reschedule William P. Young for a future monthly meeting.)

Our panelists will answer questions about some national conferences, prices, take-away, and how to make the most of your conference experience... and all in a fun Dennis Brooke style. |
