This year’s presenter: Chris Walker, of www.EvangelismCoach.org, is the featured speaker. He is fittingly known as the Evangelism Coach because of his extensive work with churches in the US and Latin America in the areas of evangelism and church growth. Chris is an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA).

His website has over 800 articles on personal evangelism, congregational evangelism, and hospitality, as well as a podcast feed, all for free. He's written two ebooks on church hospitality issues and authored 1 DVD for training church greeters.

 This retreat will benefit both Pastors and Lay leaders in Churches seeking to increase the welcoming environment of their congregation.
