Jerusalem Conference

The conference in Jeruslem was amazing. Around 50 pastors and leaders came to hear Rick Renner and Pastor Bob teach about being a pastor and working in a church.

This picture shows the group during the Praise and Worship time. One person on guitar, the local pastor on drums and one lady as a worship leader did a great job. You could see their hearts were on worshiping God and you could feel that God anointed their efforts.


Rick started the conference and then turned it over to Pastor Bob. Pastor taught on the Spirit and the Truth. He did a great job his first hour. However, the second hour Pastor taught on what would be missing in the church if a pastor didn't teach the Word. For those of us used to Pastor Bob we know that you get ready to take notes in warp speed. I am not sure the pastors at this conference were ready but he gave them both barrels of his teaching and it was AWESOME.


At the end Rick and Pastor answered questions. "How do you keep tradition out of your church?" "How can you know you can trust you leaders?" "How do you balance the move of the Spirit in a church service with the teaching of the Word?" These are question that you can hear from pastors in most any country. I guess people are basically the same all around the world.

The conference was a huge success.

Thanks to Rick Renner and his staff who made us feel welcome in Israel.
