Hello BRN Family, it’s good to be with you today!

Mark your calendars now for Tuesday, October 6, when we will host this year’s Accelerate Conference at the Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel. This year’s conference will feature the theme, “Bold Impact,” with myself and several of our own pastors and ministry leaders serving as keynote speakers.

You’ll hear from Kyle Canty, North American Mission Board (NAMB) Send City Missionary for Philadelphia; T.J. Freeman, senior pastor of Christ Church in Wellsboro, Pa.; Brian Musser, Baptist Campus Missionary for Drexel University; and Zakk Roberts, NAMB Send City Missionary for Pittsburgh.

We also will host several breakout sessions, worship led by students from Lancaster Bible College, and a special bonus! On the evening before the conference, Travelers Church Pastor Wes Winebarger will host a pre-conference session on prayer.

As always, we also will feature an exhibit area. I want to encourage you to consider if you’d like to be a vendor at the BRN’s largest event for church leaders.

We are pleased to provide high quality vendor packages every year. Do you or someone you know want to be an exhibitor for the conference?

If so, I invite you to visit brnunited.org/vendor-application to receive our Vendor packet, which details all the many ways we can acknowledge you before our many churches.You may fill out the application at the same link.

But hurry! Last year, we had such a great response, we almost ran out of room for vendors!

Be sure to check out our Accelerate Conference website at acceleratepasj.com for all the latest details. Registration will open on July 15. I earnestly urge you to pray for this conference. Let’s boldly strive together to accelerate Kingdom movement! Thank you and God bless you!
