 February 19-22, 2007
Attention all Congregational Leaders,
Please make your plans today to join us in Lucerne Valley, California for our upcoming Leadership Retreat. At this hour I feel it is vital that those who are called to lead gather together so we can glean from one another. The days ahead are promised to be filled with obstacles and ever increasing difficulty. We must take this opportunity to encourage and edify one another for the journey ahead.
The retreat format will be very interactive. Our round table discussions will cover a variety of current issues and be led by those who are on the front lines of the restoration of all of Israel. You will walk away with a firm vision and solid understanding of your local and national role as a leader in Israel. You will build relationships with those who understand the trials and blessings before you. This is your opportunity to affect and shape the future of Messianic Israel as you will be with the MIA Shepherd’s Council each day. Come and be a blessing as you are blessed.
Please review our preliminary agenda and call the home office today to reserve your chair at this prophetic event.
See you there,
Scott Diffenderfer
