After a year’s absence from appearing in our region, Promise Keepers returns in the summer of 2008 with a conference on September 12th and 13th in Charleston, WV. A Promise Keepers conference consists of several thousand men gathered together in an arena venue to worship and praise God. The total experience draws from a variety of inspirations, including nationally prominent Christian speakers, uplifting praise band music, laughing out loud to Christian comedy, and watching thought-provoking dramatic skits. There is no hugging or hand-holding required. It was once said that a Promise Keepers conference is “How men do God.” Big screens and a big PA system are used to provide a multi-media presentation designed to enrich and strengthen a man’s faith no matter what stage of his faith journey he’s in.
The conference itself will run from 6:30 – 10:00 PM on Friday, September 12th and from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM on Saturday, September 13th. The cost of the conference is about $90 plus food and lodging. However, lack of funds will not stand in the way of anyone who is interested in attending. Scholarship funds are (discretely) available to assist those who would like to attend but might need some financial backing. Plans for a group from St John to attend this conference are presently being formulated. If you are interested in attending, please use this e-mail link.
