A Children's Ministry Leadership Summit
March 16-18, 2012
King of Kings Church - Omaha, Nebraska

You love God's kids, and it shows in everything you do.

As a ministry leader, you need time for inspiration, new learning, and fellowship with other "kidmin" champions.

reFUEL is designed for children's ministry leaders serving in congregational settings.

Space is limited because we are dedicated to providing an intimate, discussion-driven experience that will allow you to dig deep, breathe deep, and grow.

Whether you are running on empty or just need to top-off, join us for 3 days of high impact discipleship for kidmin leaders.

reFUEL is:

• Insightful new ministry applications for social media
• Practical workshop experiences with lots of discussion
• Soul-full spiritual refreshment through a variety of prayer experiences
• Fun and focused on relationship building with like-minded leaders

Cost is $150 and includes most meals. Register now! (After March 1st, call 888.549.8687 to check availability.)
