This year, as I am traveling to different geographies I will be meeting with small groups of local church leaders in order to be together for fellowship, discussion, and prayer. On May 3rd I will be traveling to Lake Geneva Wisconsin. This will be a lunch meeting sponsored by Geneva Lakes Church. I will be giving a message on shepherding, Steve Gruitzius and Gary Powers will also be bringing us messages on the same subject. Come join the NCFIC and other church leaders in your area for a gathering of fellowship, encouragement, prayer and instruction. I will be having church leaders meetings like this in different parts of the country as well. Please feel free to bring your sons or other men you might be discipling for leadership.
