    I don't understand how the 7th largest city in the U.S. gets stiffed
    again.

     According to the '96 conference material I received Saturday, the 
     Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, and Minneapolis conferences are 
     already full.  Due to the overwhelming response, additional 1996
     events are being considered.

     Again, let me urge you to register _now_ if you plan on attending one
     of the '96 conferences.  There are two ways to register by telephone:

	1.  Use the automated regustration system at 1-800-239-7028; you
	    will need to know your constituent number.

	2.  If you do not know/have a constituent number call 
            1-800-265-6023.

     Telephone registrations are accepted with VISA or MasterCard only.  
     The fee is $60.00 this year, which includes your admission, a syllabus,
     a 1996 worship cassette tape, a post-conference video, and lunch on 
     Saturday.


     P.S.  RE: .2  I'm sorry, Mike, that the PK folks haven't (yet) included 
           Phoenix on the conference schedule - pray for next year!

How many of you have heard anything on the news about last weekend's Promise
Keepers for pastors convention?  One would think that an unbiased media would
consider it newsworthy.  It was the largest gathering of clergy in the
history of the USA (possibly the world) - 40,000 pastors, which represents
10% of the pastors in the country.  If each pastor represents a congregation
of 200, the pastors represent 8 million people.  Newsworthy, No?  Apparently
the media doesn't think so.

One thing I heard about it that was pretty cool was a spontaneous singing of
"How Great Thou Art" by about 1000 pastors in an Atlanta subway station. 
Apparently the sound in the tunnels was quite remarkable, and carried right
up out onto the street.

    Paul, I heard about it from a pastor friend of mine (who didn't
    attend).
    
    We'll just have another Harvest Crusade instead since PK isn't coming
    to Phoenix ;-)  I was more curious than anything else to experience it
    firsthand.  I'm not convinced yet it's a bad thing that they don't come
    to Phoenix.
    
    Mike

    
    	My Pastor and his son attended.  Pastor Dan then went on
    	vacation, so we have yet to hear a full update, but his
    	son (our Youth Pastor) really enjoyed it (and preached an
    	awesome WAKE UP call to us upon his return).
    
    	My husband has read the book "The Seven Promises of 
    	a Promise Keeper", and has found nothing to cause him
    	concern.  He is greatly encouraged by what he is learning.
    
    	(And I'm the lucky beneficiary  ;-) )
    
    	Karen
    

    	re .7
    
    	I guess we're fortunate here, Mike.
    
    	We have Harvest in Colorado Springs, and PK in Denver.
    
    	Most of the harvest workers I know are also promisekeepers.
    
    -----------
    
    	re .3
    
    	Thanks for the info.
    
    	This year I intended to attend my first PromiseKeepers (Denver)
    	and I called as soon as I saw the 800- number (and the warning that
    	some are already full.)
    
    	A bunch of us from this office will be attending together.
    
    	(Yes, we are allowed to discuss issues religious here.)
    
    	Joe

    
    	cool, Joe!
    
    	Our church has reserved 100 tickets, and the men from our
    	home group are going en masse.  Last night the ladies
    	told Jamie he had to go, because they all plan to spend
    	the weekend at my house while the husbands are gone ;-)
    
    	(it was news to me, but not unwelcome ;-) )
    

				;-) ;-) ;-)

			Sounds a good one, Karen!!!!

    Awsome Karen!
