Living Free International Training Conference
October 5-8, 2008

Cohutta Springs Conference Center
Crandall, Georgia

Our theme this year for the Living Free International Training Conference is Transformed into His Likeness, with an emphasis on the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Our theme verse, spoken by Paul, is II Corinthians 3:18: “And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit”.

In this year’s conference, we will have a number of breakout groups addressing pertinent subjects that small group leaders encounter. This will be great at the Cohutta Conference Center, because we will be family and have the time to build relationships with people from different cities, states or even countries.

Our presenters include:

• Dr. Don Finto – Nashville, Tennessee

Don Finto became Senior Pastor of Belmont Church in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1971 during the height of the “Jesus Movement”.  His own personal encounter with the Holy Spirit had already brought significant changes in his life.  These changes enabled him to be a leader and challenge many of the young people who were turning to Jesus during that time, including some of the early contemporary Christian artists and Jewish young people.
 
In 1996 Don founded “The Caleb Company” (www.calebcompany.com), and since leaving the pastorate in 1997, Don has given most of his time to this vision and its practical expressions. His Regal-published book (2001), “Your People Shall Be My People”, with accompanying Teacher's and Student's Guides in several translations, has opened doors of ministry around the world. 

Don has a unique understanding of life-controlling problems and the need for transformation and discipleship in people’s lives. He has tremendous insight about this addictive culture in which we live and has the ability to teach people how to minister to those with life-controlling problems.

The seeds of the ministry of Living Free stem from the time that Dr. Lee spent in Nashville under the tutelage of Don and his ministry.

• Pastor Andres Bunch - El Pacto Ministries, Bogotá, Colombia

Pastor Bunch, formerly a practicing attorney in Bogotá, has pastored the El Pacto Church for fifteen years. Seventy percent of his congregation is made up of rehabilitated drug addicts, and most of the elders of the church are former drug addicts. El Pacto Church has birthed ten sister churches in marginal sections of Bogotá, is responsible for two men’s drug rehabilitation facilities, and has recently opened a women’s rehabilitation center. The church oversees a school for 250 underprivileged children and has a television program that covers most of Colombia. Pastor Bunch will be sharing about El Pacto’s very effective outreach ministry where they build relationships with the broken hearted and disengaged, hurting people.

• Dr. Mike Chapman – City Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee

Dr. Mike Chapman is the pastor of City Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Pastor Chapman has served on the Turning Point Board of Directors for thirteen years and currently serves as the Vice Chairman. Mike is known as a gifted communicator and visionary.
