Are you a growing church in a smaller town? If so, you've probably felt a little 'left out' at some of the conferences on church leadership... until now. Today, I wanted to take an opportunity to introduce you to "The Sticks" conference that will be held later this fall in Ohio. My friend Charles Hill has put together a very unique and needed conference for mid-size and larger churches that are ministering in America's smaller towns. According to their website, 'the sticks' is a gathering to inspire and equip pastors in small to medium towns to make a big impact for the Kingdom... It all happens November 11-12...
Check out ‘The Sticks’ website for more information...
I’ll be there… and I hope you’ll join me!

Looks cool. I wish I could go, but alas, as I’m going to REVEAL, I don’t have the time or resources to make this one, too. Too bad, since we are just the church that you are targeting with this.
Dear God: thank you, today, for Charles Hill.
Thank you, Lord, that he understands that there are so many pastors of smaller churches whose hearts are aching because they feel forgotten and neglected by all of the “sooper-dooper/Xtreme/we are going to blow your socks off/radical/power conferences”.
God, please bless Charles Hill in a special way for his caring concern for these pastors in smaller churches in smaller towns and communities out in the “Sticks”.
In Jesus Name,
Amen!
I am taking our team to this event and am looking forward to networking with others who have similar opportunties to make a big impact in smaller towns… We are ministering in a town of 5000, but try not act like it! If God can do big things in big places, why can’t He do big things in small places???
