The 18th Grace Ministers' Conference
(5-7 January 2009 at valley Lodge Magaliesburg)

The Grace Ministers' Conferences are designed to inform and inspire ministers of the gospel through powerful preaching. The purpose of these conferences is to reinforce spiritual truths that made the church of Christ healthy in the past, and at the same time, to present  refreshing perspectives on God's Word that are relevant and meaningful for ministry in the 21st century.

The 18th Grace Ministers' Conference lived up to this expectation in depth and exposition, challenging and stimulating deep thinking.

"I would rate it as equal or better than any Christian Conference I have attended" (over 40 years)

"Outstanding! The issues dealt with were real 'rubber-hits-the-road' stuff. The speakers were all superb!"
