Promise Keepers Nashville 2007 Information Meeting

Dear PK Friends,

As I’m sure you know Promise Keepers is returning to Nashville at the Gaylord Entertainment Center July 20-21, 2007! It will be my privilege to serve as the Event Director for this National Conference. In that regard, I am coming to Nashville in just two weeks, February 27-March 2, to review the logistic requirements for the event with the venue and to help organize the "Volunteer Leadership Team”.

I have been in contact with Tim Richards, who served as my Assistant Event Volunteer Director in 2005, and several others in the local area in anticipation of this first trip into your area. In addition I have identified and contacted a number of different ministry organizations & Christian businesses in the greater Nashville area, with hopes of establishing some type of connection on behalf of the PK in general, and the volunteer effort in particular. These groups include Christian Businessmen organizations, prayer networks, ministerial associations, denominational district offices, Christian radio stations, and other para-church organizations. If you know of "gatekeepers" within the larger Christian community, or key ministry organizations that PK should connect with, please let me know!!

I would love to meet as many of you as possible during my visit. We will be holding an introductory meeting for all those interested two week from today to outline the Promise Keepers program and volunteer effort for this year. Here's the information:

I will arrive in town late Tuesday night and be staying at the LaQuinta Inn at the airport. Chuck Schneider, our National Field Ministry Director, will be joining me on Wednesday. I am working now on setting appointments for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to meet with volunteer leaders, pastors, and other community contacts. I'd love to meet with you and/or others on an individual or group basis. Feel free to contact me via phone or email (listed below) and we'll see what we can work out!

Anything you can do to help us get the word out about this meeting would be appreciated. Announce it at your church, forward to this email to others, or make a few calls! We'd love to get a good turnout at this introductory meeting so that we can begin to form both our local Volunteer Leadership Team and our strategy for recruiting. Thank you in advance for your help!!

I know God is putting together something very special in Nashville this year! I hope you'll plan to be a part of the excitement. Please join us Thursday March 1st, if at all possible, and help us get the word out to others. I'm looking forward to visiting your community once again and renewing the relationship we established in 2005!

Serving the Original Promise Keeper,
