Prayer Focus ~ Elizabeth Piasecki
Reaching the Heart Conference
Jesus has charged every member of His church with speaking God’s truth in love
to each other. Care and discipleship aren’t just specialties for pastors. They’re for
the whole church. “Regular” Christians have a call and a mission to help one another
through sin and suffering.
By God’s grace, you’ll walk away from this conference with fresh passion for the
supremacy of God’s Word, fresh love and compassion for people, and fresh insight
into how to bring the two together in a local church context.
WHEN: August 14-15
WHERE: New Life Bible Fellowship Church, 2960 W. Philadelphia Ave., Oley, PA
COST: $40 / individual | $50 / couple - Early-bird pricing: By June 30, $20 off | By July 18, $10 off (Includes lunch and access to book tables)
