Your car needs a periodic tune-up to run the way it was designed to. Without one, it begins to lose the performance it was meant to have.

24 HOURS TO IMPACT is a tune-up for the ordinary guy that wants to make an extraordinary difference. It's a unique Men's Conference designed to help you reconnect with God's purposes for your life. Think of it as a 'structured' day away with God to think about your future. Imagine the new perspectives a tune-up could bring.

If you have ever seriously considered getting away  to contemplate the direction of your life, now is the time (register).  Consider what others have said and then consider what God might be telling you about investing 24 hours with Him.



What will the weekend look like?

We'll dive deep into the areas in our lives where we need to foster intentional living. 

Leary Gates, founder of BoldPath Life Strategies, leads short periods of scriptural teaching that prepare you for your personal time with the Lord to discern how He wants you to engage in His mission.  You'll have the opportunity to share your insights with others and learn from those who also desire to have their lives shaped by the power of God's purposes.

An unique worship experience on Friday evening will be led by Christian recording artist Tim Lemmens and band.

Beginning three days prior to the program, you will receive daily reflection exercises sent by email  that will prepare you to get the most out of the time we will spend together.
 

Frequently Asked Questions:

What's so different about this conference?
This "conference" is not your typical stream of speakers filling a day with one-way messages to their audience.  Instead, the 24 Hours to IMPACT Men's Conference is designed to create a quiet setting for you to listen to the ultimate Speaker, the One who said "Let there be" and there was.  You'll experience a balanced blend of worship, scripturally sound messages, personal reflection time and small group interaction with other men.  All of this around the theme of discovering your Kingdom purpose.

Why should I consider attending?
If you find it difficult to take time away from a busy schedule to pause and reflect on what God may want to make of your life, this is an excellent venue for you.  While you'll have some alone time for reflection, you won't be alone.  You'll be with other men who are also discovering God's heart for their journey.  You might just find a fresh insight to give you a renewed sense of purpose.

Is this an overnight retreat?
No.  We finish early enough on Friday so that, if you live nearby, you can sleep in your own bed.  However, some men like to make a retreat out of it and take advantage of our reduced rates at nearby hotels.

Should I bring my son?
By all means.  This is a great opportunity for a young man in high-school or college to get a head start on considering God's desires for his life.

Can I come by myself?
Absolutely.  You're bound to make a few new friends too.  Because we also like to encourage connection between men.

What will be expected of me?
Just be yourself.  This conference provides you structured time with the Lord.  Use it in whatever way He leads you during it.

What is the cost?
The conference fees are $40 which includes a meal on Friday night if you register before September 8.

What should I bring?
Bring a bible and an expectant spirit. A journal notebook will be provided to you.
