I asked you to pray for the 2015 Cutting It Straight Expository Preaching Conference. The Lord answered our prayers to richly bless the conference. Thank you.

This conference exists to train, promote, and model biblical preaching and teaching. We also want to serve those who serve the church. I am overwhelmed with gratitude. The Lord fulfilled our holy desires and brought to pass the deeds prompted by our faith. God did far more abundantly than all that we could ask or think!

Thank you to Joe Pace and Cameron Triggs for leading our Worship & Arts track and Youth Ministry Track.

Thank you to Nicole Clark, Marcellus Marsh, and Danita Matthews for serving as conference coordinators! You’re the best!

Thank you to all of our speakers who poured out themselves to equip and encourage our attendees.

Thank you to the Shiloh Church staff for leaving it all on the field! I love you and thank God for your partnership in the gospel.

Thank you to the Shiloh Church volunteers. More than 150 members signed up to serve our guests. This does not include the members who just showed up to help in various ways! Our goal was to so love on our guests that they would not want to go home. As always, you made it happen!

Thank you to our conference attendees who came from around the country to be a part of CIS. We even had several international guests. Thank you for trusting us! I hope and pray you go home with a new determination to cut it straight!
