We will also discuss issues that are pertinent to your ministry and will seek active discussion concerning future initiatives important to the discipleship ministry of the church. Our primary purpose for this summit is to bring leaders like you together and create a synergy that will help us be more effective in fulfillment of the Great Commission. You are absolutely indispensable to any successful outcome!
