PRAY! Prayer Conference with Dr. Gary Miller September 6-7 “Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers” (Ephesians 6:18). We are bringing Gary Miller back September 6-7 to encourage us in this very important area of our walk with the Lord. God has been so patient and faithful in teaching me the joy and beauty of spending time with Him in prayer. One of the things He has shown me in the life of the Lord Jesus was that no matter how tired He was, no matter how busy His day was, He always longed to spend time with the Father and took the time to do so. I think it was be-cause prayer for Him was a taste, a glimpse of the home that He left in glory. God tells us over and over in His Word that we are to pray. “Never stop praying” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Which means pray all the times. One commentator paraphrases this text this way, “Pray with the consistency of a hacking cough.” Jesus prayed all the time. He got up early to pray. He stayed late to pray. Even with others around Him, Jesus found private time with the Father: “And it hap-pened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him” (Luke 9:18).

Pray that this time with Gary will be another opportunity for us to more diligent in prayer.

Every Parent wants to raise great kids, yet often we fall short of our dreams. Sometimes we’re just too busy and distracted. Some of us had less than ideal role models. Some of us are working at it, but we just don’t have a good game plan. Are you willing to invest one day in order to empower your kids... forever? With God’s help and a plan, you can raise truly great kids. This conference is a grace-based, character-driven model to nurture con-fident and cooperative kids-and have a great time in the process.

Parenting is the biggest job you will ever do. Give it your best.

This fun, fast-paced conference delves into:

What it takes to raise kids in the midst of busy lives.

Practical ways to take the fear out and put the fun back into parenting

Preparing your child’s heart to re-ceive God’s plan

Turning heartache to hope with your rebellious child

How to bring out the best in your strong-willed child

Creating an environment of love and respect

Giving your child tools to practically deal with their culture

How to lead your child to be a great adult

When it comes to parenting, the days are long... but the years are short.
