and Special Activities
Dr. Phyllis Kilbourn (Keynote)- Leading advocate for neglected
and hurting children working closely with street children, children
at war, and children in crisis worldwide. Missionary with World
Evangelization for Christ since 1967. Writer of numerous books
dealing with children.
Eileen Star - Missionary with SEND International in Alaska since
1971; Professor - Alaska Bible College; Executive Director of
the Alaska Christian Ministries Association; Former Board member
and President of NAPCE.
Cornelia Williams - Performer of original one-woman shows internationally.
Experienced actress and instructor in acting. Undergraduate, graduate
and seminary teacher.
Field Trip - An experiential safari into the villages of Tijuana
and Rosarito, Mexico provided firsthand impressions of some
of these pressing needs. Observing the names of those who perished
attempting to illegally cross the international border will provided
a sobering backdrop for our beach worship service. Visits to Tijuana
residential areas stirred our hearts towards serious theological
considerations. Our excursion south of the border culminated
oceanside at the beautiful Rosarito Beach Hotel with a Mexican
buffet. Guided conversation intensified our insights as we
waited to cross the busiest international border in the world.
Workshops - Saturday were filled with refreshing professional
development sessions organized by Hal Pettegrew. Included topics
were: using arts to create community in the classroom, refocusing
on the neglected adult learner, intentionally integrating theology
in our curriculum, using DVD in the classroom, revitalizing curriculum
in the seminary setting, and making mid-career transitions from
therapeutic work to spiritual direction.
