2010 Fanning The Flame Ministers Conference

The 2010 Fanning the Flame National Pastors Renewal Conference was successful in bringing together over 200 clergy from 10 Regions in ABC-USA.  ABCOPAD had the second largest group of participant at the conference followed only by ABC of New Jersey. The group took advantage of the splendor and beauty of the Green Lake Conference Center. 
 In an effort to assist pastors who wanted to attend the event, ABCOPAD coordinated both airfares to and from Philadelphia or Pittsburgh (Eastern and Western side of the Region) to Milwaukee and offered bus transportation to and from Milwaukee to Green Lake.  The region also offered grants to offset the cost of travel.  Dr. Wallace Charles Smith brought challenging and inspirational messages each night while during the day, workshops were offered along these tracks: 

• Biblical Preaching and Teaching in a Facebook Age
• Deepening a Pastor's Spiritual Life
• Disciplemaking in the Local Church
• Relationships in the 21st Century: Networking in a Facebook Age
• Latino Pastors Track
• Haitian Pastors Track

 Each day Hanna Ford led the group in praise and worship singing while Hanna's father, Dr. Clay Ford offered Bible Studies on the topic the "Holy Spirit and Faithful Pastoral Service."  The testimonial video clips listed below over a glimpse at how the conference was received by those who made the trip to Green Lake for a time of renewal, revival, worship and fellowship.
