"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

"At the heart of the mission of Jesus Christ and of every Christian is the proclamation of the kingdom of God. Proclaiming the kingdom in the name of Christ means for the Church, for priests, men and women religious, and for all the baptized, a commitment to be present in the world as his witnesses…"
Pope Benedict XVI, Shrine of Mariazell, Austria

When we pray those words, we do more than just petition for the coming of God's kingdom. We actually experience its coming. We witness to its reality, here and now, in the midst of this world, in the midst of our brokenness. We also open ourselves to receiving the spiritual power to proclaim the kingdom, to build the kingdom, to invite others into the kingdom.

We invite you to be a part of our 2008 Summer Conference season to learn and grow in bearing witness to the Kingdom of God with times of dynamic worship, adoration, inspiring talks and outstanding witnesses.
