Free Stuff Fridays (For the Church)

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (who, of course, also sponsored the blog this week). MBTS is hosting the For the Church Conference this fall and they would love for you to attend. To that end they are giving away a pair of tickets to 5 winners! If you are not able to attend, they will instead send you a package of books.

The For the Church Conference will take place from September 26-27, 2016 at Midwestern Seminary in beautiful Kansas City, Missouri. It will feature Jason Allen, Danny Akin, Jared Wilson, Owen Strachan, Ronnie Floyd and others. And, again, if you are unable to use these free tickets, they would like to send you a package of books, so one way or another there is something great for you to win.

The giveaway closes Saturday at noon. If you are viewing this through email, click to visit my site and enter there.
