Your 2013 National Festival Resource
The countdown to the 4th annual National Festival of Young Preachers is officially underway. In less than 23 days, 120 Young Preachers and a host of mentors, exhibitors, and friends and family will come together in Atlanta, Georgia. The event is certain to inspire, and we look forward to hearing 120 interpretations of this year's preaching theme "Gospel & The City." 
Here is what past participants have said about their National Festival experience: 
 
"The festival has opened my eyes to a deeper, more authentic view of what preaching is and can be." 
 
"The preaching festival influenced me in various ways. I am now more confident that I am called by God to proclaim the Gospel of Christ. Also, the festival enabled me to step outside of my 'box of religion' and experience different traditions and preaching styles. Because of the festival I now understand, more than ever, that we are all apart of Gods magnificent masterpiece of mercy."
 
"It has allowed me to engage other traditions with integrity, humbleness, and openness. It has allowed me to try other ways of preaching, as well as allowed me to be a better writer and researcher."
