Lord willing, i will be attending the 2007 Banner of Truth Ministers’ Conference May 29-31 (click here for a pdf brochure; conference details below). each year Banner of Truth sponsors a conference for pastors and seminary students to come fellowship and sit under some great teaching. this serves as a sort of refresher from the daily grind of pastoral ministry and study. i’m really looking forward to this for many reasons, not the least of which is the rumored AMAZING DEALS on Banner books!

for more information on the conference you can contact Steve Burlew (conference information copied from his blog), who is the manager of Banner’s US office in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

WHAT: 2007 Banner of Truth Minister’s Conference

WHEN: May 29-31, 2007

WHERE: On the beautiful Messiah College campus, Grantham, PA (just 20 minutes from Harrisburg International Airport)

IT’S A PREACHING CONFERENCE: Where Banner of Truth places some of the finest spiritual nourishment before God’s dry and thirsty shepherds who have been feeding their flocks for the past 51 weeks. This year, hear from Sinclair Ferguson, Derek Thomas, Mark Johnston, Patrick Harrison, Ben Short, Jonathan Watson.

IT’S A FELLOWSHIPPING CONFERENCE: Unlike any other, because we don’t disperse to restaurants by day and hotels by night. We live and eat together on campus; late night talks abound, as do late night ice cream runs; with a real multi-generational mix, both young and well-seasoned guys, all involved in ministry.

IT’S A WORSHIPPING CONFERENCE: No band? No worship team? Sometimes no instruments? Surround yourself with hundreds of male voices singing some of the great hymns of the faith! Incredible!

WHAT’S THE COST: Just $220/person (only $100/student) before April 30, 2007 … And look at what this includes! (1) All sessions; (2) Two nights lodging; (3) Six meals Tuesday-Thursday; (4) Entrance to the highly discounted Banner of Truth Conference Bookroom; (5) A $30 gift certificate to the Conference Bookroom; (6) Three free new books from Banner; (7) 1-year electronic subscription to the Banner of Truth magazine; (8) A 2007 Ministers’ Conference polo shirt; (9) I’ll even give you a free, personal tour of Banner of Truth, USA
