A seminar of special training focused on church planting and church revitalization is available for our pastors and church leaders. The study will be based on the excellent DCPI (Dynamic Church Planting International) curriculum. This seminar will be taught six times this winter in the districts of the Heartland Conference. We believe the Holy Spirit has called us to be "A Praying Conference of Church Planters."
Pastor Bill Wilson as a child experienced the pain and hopelessness of abandonment. One day as he walked down a street with his mother, they stopped to rest for a while. She instructed him to sit there and wait for her to return. He sat and waited for three days straight. She never returned.
A Christian gentleman who had seen Bill stranded and alone stopped and picked him up. It was here that Bill's relationship with God began.
Pastor Bill is an ordained IPHC minister today, and will be our special guest at the Heartland's annual conference April 28.
For almost 30 years Pastor Bill has worked to rescue hurting children and offer a message of salvation and love that encourages them to stay in school and away from gangs and other destructive or criminal behaviors so common in inner-city environments.
