What if your ordinary interactions with family, neighbors, and coworkers are actually invitations to adventure with God?
The Sent Conference, will help believers learn how to live a life that naturally invites Real People into Real Life in Jesus Christ and lead them on an adventure of a lifetime.
Heather and Ashley Holleman have fully embraced their identities as sent through nearly two decades of full-time ministry. With joy, they proclaim the name of Jesus knowing that God is always at work around us, that He is seeking and saving the lost, and that He is excited for us to do this work with Him.
All attendees will recieve a free copy of Sent: Living a Life That Invites Others to Jesus and a meal is provided!
Heather and Ashley served as full-time staff with Cru for 20 years, with Ashley directing Cru’s national graduate student ministry for 7 years. Ashley now serves with Global Service Associates to come alongside churches and ministries to catalyze their efforts to develop an evangelism culture for their context and to mobilize sent-ones. Heather is an associate teaching professor at Penn State and writer of several books including Sent: Living a Life that Invites Others to Jesus (co-written with Ashley) and The Six Conversations: Pathways to Connecting in an Age of Isolation and Incivility which helps readers connect in loving conversation.

Sent Prayer Experience: Looking to the One Who Has Sent You
Look to and listen to God as He grows and shapes your heart to share the love and hope of Christ with those He has sent you to. During this session, you will be given the opportunity to visit several prayer stations connected to 7 Ways to Pray for those who don’t yet know Christ and you’ll be introduced to a new tool that will simplify and energize your prayer life. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of God’s love for those around you, a greater desire to pray for them, and a greater anticipation of seeing how God will move on their behalf.
