Do you, a faith leader in a congregation or community, desire to give a hand-up to youth, the unemployed, the homeless, the addict and the financially in-debt rather than a handout? Do you desire to create jobs and businesses for your community?

- Fort Worth, TX, June 11-15, 2007 at the Smith Center for Leadership Development at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
- Lanhan, MD, July 23-27, 2007 at the Washington Bible College/Capital Bible Seminary/Equip Institute.
