2012 Leadership Development
Despite the church's place of prominence in American culture, misconceptions about the faith of Jesus Christ run rampant today. Christians are known more for exclusivity than for love, more for potlucks than for solving world hunger. It's time for churches to reconnect with the true message and mission of Jesus. Pastor Mike Slaughter challenges church leaders to look at the future of their congregations and make tough but necessary choices.

A Cambodian woman sold into sexual slavery by her grandfather at the age of twelve describes the brutality of the sex trade in Southeast Asia, the horrors she experienced until she escaped, and her role as an advocate for the victimized young women she left behind.

Her memoir will leave you awestruck by her tenacity and courage and will renew your faith in the power of an individual to bring about change. (Preview available)
