A WORD FROM THE PASTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS:
Isaiah 41:4 says “Who has done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD — with the first of them and with the last — I am he.” God is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. This is great comfort for us. We don't have to choose another deity in the course of our lives. We don't have to worry about our Father leaving us as prey for other gods. We don't have to worry about his Word becoming obsolete or outdated. He will be with us always.
- Pastor Campos

WORSHIP HOUR - The human need for being fathered is deep. The longing for Father God resides in each of our hearts. Our spirits long to be fathered by the father of our dreams, our perfect Heavenly Father. You may know in your mind that the Father loves you, but has it captured your heart? Has it permeated your very being? Do you sense, feel, taste and hear His love for you? Has it so overwhelmed you that you can’t help but overflow with His love? Pastor Campos invites you come this Sabbath and hear a message that is sure to inspire you to experience an intimate Father relationship with Him.

The topics presented, short TED talk-like format, Q&A + panel discussions, and of course the haystack dinner were highly appreciated. This year event is titled MULTYPLY and will be organized in a similar format. Presentations will be practical and the focus will be on “how” to multiply. Participants will catch the vision of multiplication and will be motivated to grow the Kingdom. This training and motivational event will greatly benefit local churches. Dinner will be provided free of charge to all registered participants. Please, register yourself and anyone in your team ASAP at www.illinoisSEEDS.org because this is a rented facility and the dinner seats are limited. Registration helps us plan for the dinner and the table/room configuration.
