“Impacting Our Communities” is the theme for the 2011 Living Free International Training Conference.

Our speakers this year will focus on uniting the church and community to bring freedom in Christ to those devastated by life-controlling problems. At the conference there will be plenary sessions and elective sessions covering topics that will help core team leaders and facilitators.

Pre-Conference Training

Living Free International Conference

Keynote Speaker: Rev. Doug Abner

This year's conference will feature Rev. Doug Abner, pastor of Community Church in Manchester, Kentucky. Rev. Abner and more than 60 local pastors came together for prayer and to develop a strategy of taking their community back from the drug addicts and drug dealers. Manchester, Kentucky, has been featured in a film project called "Appalachian Dawn", the story of how God helped to transform a community from the “pain killer capital of the U.S.” to a city of hope.
