TRAIN 2004 Conference - November 5 & 6

Triumph In The Trenches

It's tough being in the trenches. We give everything we have, in less than ideal circumstances, often hidden from view, and we sometimes struggle to keep our heads up. We're aware of danger all around us so there's a constant need to be vigilant. Ministry is a battle... spiritual warfare. But remember, the most amazing part of being on the front lines of ministry is being able to see the victories first-hand. We're in the middle of the action, seeing God at work and celebrating what He is accomplishing as He works through us.

"Triumph in the Trenches" means seeing the bigger picture, knowing that we have the resources of the Almighty God pouring through us to make a difference for His Kingdom, and rejoicing in every bit of ground taken for Him.

TRAIN 2004 invites you to join us for an awesome weekend of training, inspiration and resources as we take time away from our ministry "trenches" to celebrate God's work in and through us. We look forward to hearing from you. See you in November!
