Leaders for this Time and Place

Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.      Proverbs 19:20

At The Outcomes Conference: CLA Dallas 2015, Christian leaders will explore the times we are in and the stewardship responsibilities that come with them.

The 2015 keynote presenters are prayerfully studying God’s Word and waiting on him for the message he wants us to hear in this hour. We have great expectations as we come together in these corporate times of worship, prayer, and learning. Trusting God, we seek to gain the wisdom we need to guide the future. We are grateful for the men and women who are appointed to lead us during these sessions of inspiration and instruction.
