Conference Time!

This month’s blog comes to you from Cleveland Ohio!

This weekend is the 2022 Inclusion Fusion Live conference at Bay Presbyterian Church. I have been fortunate enough to be able to attend this year. I have really missed the opportunity to gather with other special needs ministry leaders. It is a powerful thing to be surrounded by so many knowledgeable and talented ministry leaders and volunteers.

It has been a real encouragement for me. I have had the chance to catch up with people I have not seen in years and meet some amazing people. God has opened some interesting doors today to help refine the vision and mission He has called us to in Colorado Springs.

My conference trip started a day earlier than it did for most of the attendees. I flew into Cleveland on Wednesday night. I have been in contact with a church in Canton, Ohio over the last few months for a project I am helping our church with. They were kind enough to give me a tour of the day program they run for adults with disabilities during the week. It was such an amazing thing to see how this church is making such a huge difference in the lives of not only the participants, but also the workers.

For those of you who work in the special needs ministry world, I encourage you to attend one of the conferences around the country. The next big one I know about it the Wonderfully Made Conference in Kansas City in October. Proverbs 27:17 tells us, “Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens another.” There are few ways that are better to be sharpened than to surround ourselves with experts!
