A Time Of Refreshing - Pastors, Leaders and Family Conference
Mike Parks • July 14, 2022

FPI is deeply involved in encouraging and strengthening the local Church.

Many pastors, leaders, and their families are weary as a result of these pressures. Some are ready to quit and even consider leaving their country.

 

The Time of Refreshing Conference will provide a time of encouragement through the teaching of the Word, fellowship with other Church leaders going through similar challenges, and prayer.

 

 

"A Time of Refreshing" conferences will strengthen and encourage Christian leaders:

 

  • Teaching from the Word (National & US pastors will lead these sessions).
  • Honoring and showing appreciation to the local pastors.
  • Times of prayer.
  • Question & Answer sessions.
  • Open discussion.
  • Break out meetings for women.
  • Free time for fellowship, family fun, and relaxation.

 

 

FPI will provide:


  • A secure location.
  • A nice room.
  • Food.
  • A relaxing environment where they will be taught, encouraged and refreshed. 

 

This is a great opportunity to join with the Church in the Middle East by strengthening and encouraging Her leaders!

 

We have reached approximately 50% of our funding goal with about 6 weeks to go till the conference.

 

$350 will provide meeting rooms, lodging, food, snacks, etc., for three days and two nights for a family.

 

We expect to host 200 pastors, leaders, and their families.

The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.

He lets me rest in green meadows;

He leads me beside peaceful streams.

He renews my strength.

He guides me along right paths,

bringing honor to his name.

Psalm 23 1-3 NLT

The wars are taking their toll on everyone. For those involved in compassion ministries, it is not only emotionally and physically draining. There is also tremendous spiritual warfare in the Middle East that we face.
