What others are saying... voted most helpful seminar at the ACMC National Conferences.If the 55 teams I received in Albania had half of this training, our projects would have been so much deeper and more significant.~Cori Crawford, Campus Crusade for Christ... not only practical, but spiritual. I didn't expect the seminar to be this spiritually motivating. I left inspired, convicted, and personally transformed.~Seminar Participant, Fellowship Bible Church - Little Rock Seminar SpecificsDates:     Jan 24 - 26, 2013Fee:     $171.00 per personFee Includes: Seminar Instruction and Interactive MaterialsTeam Member's ManualTeam Leader's ManualBreakfast/Lunch Fri. & Sat.Location:    Mount Paran Church of God NorthInstructor:     Larry RaganRegistration: Jan 24, 2013 at 6:30 PMLodging nearby:Roberts Mayfair 770-428-4400Comfort Inn 770-952-3000La Quinta Inn 770-951-0026Sleep Inn 770-952-9005 Registration: Help!
