PHIL SCHNEIDER
FROM PHIL SCHNEIDER Friends! I can’t wait to see you again at District Council! We have weighty matters to discuss. We are still working on making the tough decisions. Our culture is falling away from its biblical foundation at an alarming rate. We need you. Let’s pray together. Let’s seek the will of our Father! While District Council officially “begins” on Monday morning at 10:30 am with a time of worship, we are hosting a pizza/pasta buffet on Sunday evening for those who come early. We proceed to business at 1 pm on Monday. To use a term that Brother Griswold often used, we are going to have a “family room chat.” This will be an important Council. Will you pray? Will you pray about a passion for the lost? Will you seek God for direction concerning church planting? So many of you commented on Jim Cymbala’s ministry at Council last year. This year, we will be joined by other outstanding speakers. Brooklyn Tabernacle’s teaching pastor, Tim Dilena, will be speaking at our ordination service. Tim has an incredible ministry in the word of God. Dr. Mark Rutland, one of the foremost authorities on Christian leadership, will share in our Monday night service. We will close out on Wednesday with another anointed speaker, Al Toledo, pastor of Chicago Tabernacle. We will have more than 20 breakout sessions available on Tuesday that will inform and inspire you, including special sessions for women in ministry! Add to that ordination service, corporate prayer times, and endless opportunities to connect with the District ministry family here at Lake Williamson Christian Center, YOUR Christian retreat center. You need to be here. See you soon! GUEST SPEAKERS PHIL SCHNEIDER Phil Schneider was elected Superintendent during the 2012 Illinois District Council.
