Day 1 started right with Krispy Kreme Donuts... great 3500 men stoked on sugar and caffeine...before a 2 hour session
A view of the crowd of Pastors, Elders, Teachers and Laymen. Over 3500 men, standing room only, all gathered for the purpose of learning more about shepherding God's flock in their local church. Amazing to behold considering there were men from all 50 states, Italy, Germany, England, Mexico, Africa, Japan, Australia, and.... Klamath Falls.
The first session opened with the mens choir from The Masters College/Seminary. About 325 voices in all.
Now things are getting serious. The conference organizers, Grace Community Church fed all the men lunch all three days. Day 2, shown here was In & Out Burgers w/chips cookies and icecream sandwiches. Incredible! Notice the picure below has a IN&OUT Semitruck, truely an invention that is worth the investment. Other meals included a Grilled Tri-Tip/Chicken w/coleslaw and garlic potatoes, and of course Chocolate cake for desert, Day 3 brought man size grilled outdogs and chips and ice cream. No one can complain about the meals. Our snacks between sessions were fruit, bagels, coffee, soda, water, ice cream. I think we were fed better then we would do it at home. The folks at Grace Community Church were Awesome. It took upwards of 1000 people to make this whole thing work and they do it every year. This truely was a ministry that was above and beyond and I know that God will bless them for their work. Thanks to everyone that made this happen.
Dad Mohler talking with Al Mohler. After checking it out, it turns out that they are truely blood relatives. They are related through the blood of Christ!
Steve Lawson spoke on Friday morning. Incredible teacher and speaker. He started out going 60 miles an hour at about 85 decibles, and ended about 100 miles and hour at about 110 decibles. Very enthusiastic about his teaching.
This Photo is of Shelley Gale, Paul Lyman, Bob Morgan, Duane Tucker and Dan Mohler. We were getting a behind the scenes tour of the facilites at Grace Church and ended up in Pastor John Macarthur's personal office. Hmmmm a private tour of the Inner Sanctorum... It was pretty neat to get the VIP tour and we can thank Shelley for arranging it (He used to be head of security at the church), and his good friend Ken for being our tour guide and hooked us up with reserved parking, reserved seating and all the trimmings. THANKS KEN!! This church is probably between 7-9 thousand folks in attendance between the 100+ ministries they operate and it takes alot of people, (over 250 employees, and hundreds of volunteers) to make it all work. The campus was beautiful and well equipped.
And of course, we can't leave out this picture. Our host Ron and Janet Waters were hanging out as Bob helped with the dishes. What a trooper. How come he doesn't do this at my house?
