Restoration Conference
Renewing the Foundations, Releasing the Vision
In that day I will restore David's fallen shelter - I will repair its broken walls and restore its ruins and will rebuild it... -Amos 9:11
Restore Your House, O Lord!
We are all familiar with the ministry of Christian healing through which people are touched by the power of God in order to be restored and to return to health in body, mind and spirit. This same ministry also applies to the church itself. When Jesus spoke to the seven churches as recorded in the Book of Revelation it was to call them to be healed and to flourish as the church God wanted them to be.
This day conference will focus on the dynamics by which churches can heal their wounded stories and bless the church to come alive again in God's restorative power and grace.
Speaker: The Rev. Dr. Russ Parker
The Rev. Dr. Russ Parker was director of the Acorn Christian Healing Foundation from 1995-2013 and was responsible for developing partnerships on listening and reconciliation in 12 nations ranging from Rwanda, Burundi, Hong Kong and the United States. Russ is now the director of Healing Wounded Churches which exists to help churches to resolve and heal their legacies of unhealed stories and their issues and move forward in a renewed ability to flourish as God intends. Russ is the author of a number of books and travels extensively around the UK and abroad, lecturing and teaching in issues connected with Christian Healing and Healthcare, Reconciliation and Church Transformation. Russ is married to Roz and lives near Farnham, Surrey, England. His hobbies are photography and visiting Celtic holy places. He supports Liverpool Football Club, whether they are winning or losing!
