The Northwest Conference is excited to be co-sponsoring and
participating in the planning for our 3rd Coming Together Conference-a leadership conference on multicultural ministry.

We are excited to announce 2 great additions to the conference:

The Rev. Richard Coleman will be joined by 3 leaders from African American congregations to give us an intimate view of "The ministry of historic African-American churches in Twin Cities' Neighborhoods".

This workshop will help participants learn "more about their neighbor" by telling the stories of African-American led congregations and their historic and current presence at a neighborhood level.

This workshop alone will be the worth the price of admission!

Rev. Coleman will will be joined by:

Rev. Curtis Herron, long-time pastor of Zion Baptist Church in Minneapolis.
Rev. Dr. Earl Miller, founding pastor of Progressive Baptist Church in St. Paul.
Rev. Dr. Willa Grant Battle, pastor of Grace Temple Deliverance Center in Minneapolis.

Secondly, we are excited to announce a 3rd plenary session presented by NAE titled "The Washington Discussion: An insiders' perspective on evangelicals' efforts to reform immigration."

This session will feature 3 individuals who are working closely with evangelical denominational and national leaders to advocate for immigration reform that protects our borders, strengthens family unity, preserves human rights, respects the rule of law and provides fair labor laws.

Samuel Rodriguez, and Jenny Hwang and Matthew Soerens (NAE/World Relief) have become leading voices for evangelicals, speaking to congregations and leaders nation-wide, testifying before congress, and offereing a compelling, Biblical-based approach to resolving the challenges presented by immigration in the United States.

Rev. Samuel Rodriquez has been named one of the "7 most influential Hispanic leaders" in America. As President of the NHCLC that represents 16 million Hispanic Christians, Rodriguez boldly proclaims, "We want Hispanics to be the forerunners, and preservers, of our Christian faith
in America."

He meets frequently with members of congress, and participates in White House meetings, advocating on issues of justice, family values and immigration on behalf of Hispanic evangelicals.
