Life to the Full Conference

I am really excited about an incredible conference that is coming up on October 28-30, 2016 in Niagara Falls. It is called Life to the Full. How can you go wrong with a name like that? Life to the Full is a conference that will help the Church embrace and minister with people with special needs.

Who should attend this conference?

Pastors and church leaders would definitely benefit from this conference. Parents and other family members of those with special needs would also enjoy this. And those with special needs will appreciate the time together. In fact, just about anyone should attend this conference.

We are at a time when churches need to take disability ministry seriously. It is not just about having a formal disability as one of many programs. It is about being aware of special needs and being willing to minister in loving and respectful ways.

Life to the Full has some incredible keynote speakers and breakout sessions. You can tailor your learning to your goals and context.

The tagline for the conference is ability - belonging - community. It is as easy as ABC.

Please consider attending this conference. You can find all the information here.

Building Communities of Belonging 2015

The Building Communities of Belonging conference, put on by Christian Horizons, is coming up on May 9, 2015. I attended and spoke at the conference last year. It is a tremendous opportunity to connect with leaders, pastors, parents and those with special needs. You will find all sorts of resources that will help your church to be more effective in ministering to those with special needs. I highly recommend it.

You can find out more about and register for the conference here.

Here is an article I wrote in Faith Today magazine about last year's conference.
