March 2005

Our 2005 Conference was such a blessed time of worship, fellowship, learning and experiencing God. Our speakers, Brother Andrew and Randy Friesen, both excited us by their walk with God and challenged us to get in step with God ourselves. We welcomed new mission agencies and enjoyed meeting with folks who have been to Jesus to the Nations before. Our number of visitors was up again this year, especially with the addition of a Sunday afternoon session. The seminars were informative and interesting. The children’s program and youth trak showed growth, too. The Jeff Somers Band capped off the Saturday evening program.

March 2004

2004 was an exciting year. Our speakers, Loren Cunningham, founder of YWAM and Jon Fuller, with OMF, were inspiring. We had new exhibitors and great seminar leadership. We had two book tables and a user-friendly prayer area. The crowds of visitors for all of the events was up from last year and we were encouraged by the growth. The Youth program was expanded to include afternoon activities and a scavenger hunt among the displays. Present Reality finished off the two day event with a time of worship and celebration which was enjoyed by youth and adults alike.
