Join the GPS!

Greetings from the Academy of Preachers!
These summer months have brought with them sweltering heat. But they also bring you the opportunity to support a Young Preacher through the Academy of Preachers! July is GPS (Gospel Preaching Society) month for on-line giving, and we invite all friends of the Academy of Preachers to make an online donation. Every person who gives becomes a member of the GPS, and any gift, from $10 to $15,000 gift from an Atlanta foundation (both of which we are expecting this month) will support the AoP's work to inspire young people in their call to Gospel preaching.

Preaching & Slamming
By Dwight A. Moody
The prime event of the Academy of Preachers is the Festival of Young Preachers. Some Festivals are large, with 120 Young Preachers, like the National Festival (to be held next January in Atlanta); and some are small, with 5 preachers (like the John George Pfrimmer Festival of Young Preachers held on the last day of June in Corydon, Indiana). Most are somewhere between: there were 25 Young Preachers at the Campus Festival at Palm Beach Atlantic University this past April; and 36 Young Preachers are expected at the Texas Regional Festival to be held in Austin this September. Meanwhile, 10 Young Preachers are anticipated at the Campus Festival at Cincinnati Christian University in November.
To help you plan and host your own festival we have develped the
Festival in a Box, with all the digital designs and documents you need and also with samples of the many AoP products: lanyards and nametags, tee shirts, festival sermon books and programs, and (of course) writing pens. These things help you transform a humdrum, class room event into a visually impressive, organizationally effective, spiritually-powerful Festival. Read more->
