Testimonials
Having attended the conference for the first time, I know it will not be my last. I am already talking it up for next year and will be inviting others to join me!
This conference was an absolute blessing! My family will be back!!
Always refreshing and feeds my soul.
The pre-teen/teen track was incredible! Our children were moved by what they learned and I can see the message working in their hearts and minds.
Powerful in terms of content - but also gave practical & useful action items. I wanted to go to all of the seminars!
All the plenary speakers were exceptionally passionate, knowledgeable, motivated and anointed.
