Posted by on Sep 2, 2011 in Men's Advance

Mark your calendars NOW for the upcoming Men’s Leadership Advance (February 10-11, 2012).

Beyond that, we also have the Holy Spirit who dwells within each one of us and makes it possible to truly forgive past offenses (cf. 1 Cor. 3:16, 6:19-20). Because of these powerful truths...

CHEF Conference exceeds all expectations!

Posted by on Jun 24, 2011 in Events

This year the CHEF Conference (June 21-22, 2011) in St. Charles, Missouri was as wonderful as it ever has been. By the way, C.H.E.F. stands for Christian Home Educators Fellowship. We met at the spacious St. Charles, MO Convention Center. This was a very nice setting for the 1000+ people who attended. Organization & Speakers: The Jon and Candy Summers family and their support team did a superlative job of organizing it, promoting it, and staffing it. The speakers were both challenging and encouraging. We heard rousing presentations from Voddie Baucham, Reb and Beverly Bradley, John...
