† QUESTION: I recently attended a RENOVARÉ Regional Conference and am interested in bringing one to my area? What do I do?

‡ ANSWER: First, read the information about Regional Conferences, then contact our Joan Skulley at 303-792-0152, x 105, or . We also offer Local Conferences.

† QUESTION: What is the difference between a Regional Conference and a Local Conference?

‡ ANSWER: A Regional Conference is sponsored by a number of organizations in a region, is advertised throughout that region, and is held on Friday evening and all day Saturday until 4:00 p.m. A Local Conference can be sponsored by one church and advertised in a community as being an activity of that organization to which everyone is invited, and is held on Saturday only.

† QUESTION: Who speaks at Regional and Local Conferences?

‡ ANSWER: There are two speakers at each Regional Conference: Glandion Carney, Richard Foster, or James Bryan Smith and another RENOVARÉ Team Member. One RENOVARÉ Team Member leads a Local Conference.

† QUESTION: Does RENOVARÉ regularly hold National and/or International Conferences?

‡ ANSWER: We have sponsored conferences for the larger Christian community at various times, but do not do so on a regular basis. One of our long-term goals is to hold a biannual conference where people gather to reaffirm the RENOVARÉ Covenant, learn about Kingdom living, integrate what they learn into their lives, and return to their homes and jobs empowered by that experience. We are hoping to hold the first in 2003, and then every odd numbered year thereafter. Host cities for these conferences would be places that have earlier had exceptional Regional Conferences. Let us know if you think this is a good idea and if you would attend these conferences!

† QUESTION: Do members of your team speak for events that aren't officially connected with RENOVARÉ?

‡ ANSWER: Each of our Team Members has their own ministry in addition to serving on the RENOVARÉ Ministry Team. Call us at 303-792-0152 or write for their contact information.

† QUESTION: Do you sponsor retreats where a person can go to refresh their spirit?

‡ ANSWER: We lend support to many fine retreat centers around the United States and beyond by recommending that people go to them for spiritual nourishment. Our long-range plans include developing retreats for lay people and Christian leaders that will be held at some of these centers. Watch the Perspective for announcements.

† QUESTION: Where can I go in my region for a retreat?

‡ ANSWER: A good resource that lists retreat centers in the US is A Place for God by Timothy Jones (New York: Doubleday/Image, 2000). The centers are divided by region, then listed by state with a description and contact information.
