Explorer's Conference 2023Join us in the marvel of God’s creation, spending a weekend in between the still waters of Wi Ne Ma lake and the rolling waves of Wi Ne Ma beach. Each day, we’ll dig into the word and look at how we as individuals and church communities deal with the challenging topic of suffering, as well as how we can learn from our past struggles to better prepare for our future as disciples of Christ.

A Timely EncouragementDrawing on his own loss and tragedy through the death of his young wife and, more recently, the death of his sixteen-year-old son, John Mark Hicks tells the story of God through his own suffering.
He humbly embraces that suffering entails walking "through the valley of loss." In that valley, God listens, empathizes, is sovereignty, and finally victorious. This path is not only for those who seek to persevere through suffering but also for those who want to prepare for the suffering that we all inevitably face, including being present to others we come alongside in their suffering. There are no easy answers. But all of us may walk with assurance, comfort, and trust in the Living God whose life yields perseverance, peace and hope. |
Exploreres Conference welcomes people from all walks of life. Children are part of our walk of life; some walk with families and some are searching for them. Explorers Conference welcomes children who are often, through no fault of their own, caught in the middle of suffering. We ask that you consider being a guide, listener and leader of children during this conference.
