Eighth Annual Rocky Mountain Shepherds' ConferenceAuthor Tim Hansel suggests taking two-minute vacations and two-day vacations in his book, When I Relax I Feel Guilty. A two-day time and place for an emotional and spiritual vacation is precisely what is offered to you at the Rocky Mountain Shepherds’ Conference. The Conference offers the opportunity for pastors, missionaries, and lay leaders to thoroughly relax and refresh—it is up to the individual to take advantage of it. Whether your church is building a lighthouse, a spiritual hospital, or a flashlight factory, this conference is a special resource for you. This year features two gifted and popular speakers with a heart for rural communities, Dr. Roy W. Anderson, Executive Director of the Association of North American Missions, and Dr. Gary A. Goreham, associate professor and chair of the Department of Sociology/Anthropology at North Dakota State University. Dr. Anderson delights in bringing the Gospel into a community with no known believers and helping them grow through the first stages of discipleship, both personal and corporate. Dr. Goreham serves rural communities and churches as a consultant as well as teaches the sociology of religion, family, and the community. |
