Rooted in Faith, Thriving
in Ministry

Those of us who work with ministers
or inquirers and candidates pray for them to be as healthy as
“... trees planted by streams of water, which yield their
fruit in its season ...” (Psalm 1:3) Yet we often wear
ourselves out with gatekeeping and firefighting rather than
supporting healthy ministries and preventing problems.
This conference took place from
July 26 to 29, 2007, in
Salt Lake City, Utah.
