2005 Covenant Keepers 19th Annual Conference

SPEAKERS

Marilyn Conrad, founder and president of Covenant Keepers will point us to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. By considering Him, who is our example, we can remain steadfast in our commitment to our marriages.

Craig Hill is a long-time friend of Covenant Keepers and a treasured conference speaker. This year he will share a new teaching on what God calls holy and man has made common. Marilyn heard this message at the annual FFI conference in North Carolina last fall and asked Craig to present it at the conference.

Pastor Ken Savage is Senior Pastor at Cornerstone Family Church where Marilyn Conrad is a member. Covenant Keepers is located in office space at the church. Pastor Ken and wife Lauren are also Covenant Keepers board members and have a healed marriage. Pastor Ken accompanied Marilyn last November to New Zealand, Singapore and London.

Leo Godzich, Founder and president of NAME (National Association of Marriage Enhancement), Leo helped establish the Covenant Marriage Movement and is a pastor at Phoenix First Assembly. Leo and Molly oversee a marriage ministry to hundreds of couples, with outstanding results in restoring broken relationships and building strong marriages.

Bob and Audrey Meisner communicate that no mistake, accident or tragedy can deter God’s purposes for your marriage. The Meisners host It’s A New Day and a children’s program on Canadian TV. Their story of God’s unconditional love speaks hope in the midst of despair. Bob profoundly proclaims, “Yes! There is love after adultery.”

HEALED MARRIAGE TESTIMONY

Don & Elaine MacNeish from Canada were only married a week before Don was arrested for domestic violence. After that his life spiraled down into drinking, drugs, lying and theft. They will share their message of how God makes a way where there seems to be no way. The MacNeish's lead a group in Winnipeg. Elaine says, “He has given back everything the enemy has stolen…and more!”

PRAISE & WORSHIP

Mike & Lou Ann Barnes have over 20 years of ministry and experience leading praise and worship in churches and conferences. "We look forward to experiencing God's presence and power again this year as we worship together."

TEENS & TWEENS

Arrangements will be different this year than in the past. David Greg & Heather Sitton will meet with both Teens (13-19) and Tweens (10-12) during discovery times to share what the Lord is saying to young people today.

David Greg and Heather are Bible College graduates and David Greg is attending college to get his Bachelor's Degree.

There will be plenty of time for activities and fellowship, some with Teens and Tweens together and some separately.

Joel and Lyndsay Savage, brother and sister and children of Ken & Lauren Savage, will be with the Tweens during their activities. They are both college students. The outlook is for excellent fellowship and much fun.

Joel & Lyndsay say, "Remind your father or mother to get their registration in early this year so they can take advantage of the Early Bird savings."
