What can I expect at the conference?

The conference theme is taken from the book of Zephaniah 3:17 "The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior; He will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in his love, He will sing joyfully because of you..."

The conference is filled with talks by dynamic speakers, group activities, Latino music & worship, an international talent night, deep sharings and touching testimonies, fun, friends, and delicious ethnic food!

Do I need to know Spanish in order to go?

Definitely not! It is part of the adventure to be immersed in the language and culture. The Latinos are very warm and embrace their foreign brothers and sisters who will be visiting. All the talks will be given in Spanish but there will be a lot of English explanations as well as fully translated programs with the talks in English.
