ANNUAL AMERICAN BAPTIST MEN / ABBOYS – USA LEADERSHIP TRAINING CONFERENCE 2010
COME JOIN US IN NEW ENGLAND SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2010
“Stir Up, Stand Up, Speak Up” 2 Tim 1:6-12, Eph 4:12
This year, the Annual American Baptist Men / ABBoys – USA Leadership Training Conference will take place at Grotonwood Camp located at 167 Prescott St, Groton, Massachusetts. A fellowship gathering and devotional will take place Friday evening, September 17, 2010, for those who arrive on Friday. Saturday, September 18, 2010, will have Plenary Sessions and exciting and informative Workshops for both Men and Boys, the day ending with a special youth concert. Sunday, September 19, 2010, the Conference will end with Sunday School and a Worship Service.
We will have two very exciting and “out of the box” thinking speakers, both of whom are well known nationally and have speaking engagements globally as well. Both are authors of several inspirational books and are involved in many leadership training programs. Rev. Dr. E. Glenn Wagner, former vice-president of Promise Keepers, Inc., is currently the Executive Director for the Center for Leadership Development and Deployment at University Park Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC. Timothy Eldred, Senior Pastor for New Beginnings Christian Family Fellowship in Six Lakes, MI, serves as the Executive Director of Christian Endeavor International and developed the “Pray 21” youth mentoring program, which the American Baptist Men-USA recommends for use in our ABBoys mentoring program. The bios of both of these fascinating men of Christ follows this article.
This “Conference” will be very different from most other ABMen training conferences or summits you may have attended in the past. Besides the men receiving great life changing encouragement and training, this weekend will also feature an emphasis on mentoring for ABBoys and young men. Those men and boys in the local area who do not wish to stay over night will be offered a one day package for the Saturday program. The Sunday services will, of course, be open to whoever wishes to attend. Please plan to bring your sons, grandsons and their friends to participate in this great experience. Tony Pappas, TABCOM Executive Minister and Phil Anderson, TABCOM ABMen President, will both present workshops for men at the conference. Cost is $105 for the weekend, including lodging and 5 meals, $80 dollars for boys 18 and younger and $50 for anyone who can only attend on Saturday.
