Priority of Prayer Marked Summit on the Gospel
About 200 passionate, gospel-driven leaders and laypeople came together in Houston in April for MAC's National Summit on the Gospel.
"We've never had a meeting that has had such great synergy," said MAC Chairman Paul Cedar. "Every part of it came together. Our plenary speakers and workshop leaders provided insights and resources that were amazingly compatible and synergy was great."
MAC's National Facilitator for City/Community Ministries Phil Miglioratti commented, "I believe many left the Summit still carrying the challenge from Ed Stetzer: 'You can't lead what you do not live.'"
Video of the Summit plenary sessions will be available soon on the MAC website.

Always Be Prepared to Give an Answer
"There is going to be no substitute for everyday Christians living out their faith and being able to winsomely talk about their convictions in their everyday lives," says John Stonestreet. Christians need to equip themselves to live in and engage a hostile culture, he says.
