Vineyard USA Southwest Region
2010 Southwest Regional Pastors and Leaders Conference
June 7–10, 2010
Dear Pastors and Leaders,
We are very excited about the upcoming Southwest Regional Pastors and Leaders Conference! We know it is going to be an uplifting time for all of us!
Expanding the Kingdom in Historic Times will be our theme, and there will be something for everyone at this conference! We will be offering many different workshops covering most aspects of church leadership and ministry. There will be great Children’s Ministry offered, along with dynamic Youth Ministry. So, bring your children and youth with you!
We are expecting our worship times together to be anointed, refreshing, and for God’s power to move mightily among us during ministry times! We will also have time for fellowship with one another as we visit with old friends and make some new ones.
Please join us in sunny Glendale, Arizona where we and our fellow pastors of Vineyard Church North Phoenix will host this wonderful time together!
Together in His Service,
Brian T. and Thora Anderson
