Up on the Rooftop: Conference on Ministry, 2018.
Peter was changed by spending time on the roof. He stopped on his journey and spent time in prayer, and the vision he received while on the roof transformed his vision for mission, his vision for himself as a leader, and his vision of the ministry to which he was called. At this year’s Conference on Ministry, you are invited to take an intentional stop along the journey to gather ‘on the rooftop to pray,’ so that we, together, might be transformed in our vision for mission, leadership and ministry.
SPEAKERS: Keynote presenters and facilitators will be Pr. David Hansen and Jessica Noonan, ministry coaches with LEAD (www.waytolead.org).
