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.
