Hope In the Gospel Seminar - 3 Days Away!

Hi Everyone,

We're so excited! 

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truthendures to all generations."  Ps 100:4-5

Please continue to cover the event with fervent prayer as we know our adversary doesn't want kingdom work to prosper. Also for traveling mercies for everyone, final preparations by our hosting church, more registrations, etc. - and above all, that our glorious Savior will be high and lifted up!

Just think about how many more broken souls will be touched by the ~100 saints from (7 different US states, and 1 from  Argentina) who will be further equipped to bring the "hope of the Gospel to the heart of addiction' !!! 

Some Reminders:

Meals: We recommend ordering a meal on-site for Fri. and/or Sat. as there aren't many restaurants close by and the meal breaks are only an hr. Each meal is $10 and you can pay at the registration table (Walk-In station) when you arrive if you haven't already paid. You can also bring your own meal - refreshments and deserts provided.

Menu:  Friday Dinner: Jamaican style smoked chicken, rice & beans, and cabbage. Sat. Lunch: Turkey & Cheese on Kaiser roll w/lettuce & tomato, mac salad, bag of chips, with a sweet. There's a handful of vegetarian sandwiches (1st come basis).

Exhibitors:   Set up is between 9—11:30 am on Fri. 11/ 2.  Teardown is after 3:45 pm on 11/3. Look for 8' table in Gym with your organization's name signage.

See you soon - blessings,

Daniel Gavin Sr, Executive Director
