Coming Soon! Nat'l Asian American Leadership Conference (Mar 24-26, 2008)

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am serving with four other Asian American leaders (Tom Steers, Tommy Dyo, Ron Sugimoto, and Ben Shin) to plan the second ever national Asian American Leadership Conference (AALC) event which will take place in LA (specific host church site TBA soon) on March 24-26, 2008.

Please check out our new website at www.AALC2008.org.

Over 400 pastors, parachurch leaders, seminarians, and spouses attended the first AALC in 2004. We anticipate over 500 to attend this second AALC. The purpose of the AALC is to encourage and equip those who serve the evangelical Asian American community nationwide.

Main speakers include Dr. John Townsend (Cloud-Townsend Ministries), Pastor Ken Fong (Evergreen Baptist Church - LA), Lisa Espineli Chinn (IVCF, Dir, International Student Ministry), and Pastor David Gibbons (New Song Church, Irvine, CA). There will also be 20+ workshops addressing a wide range of ministry topics. Workshop teachers will represent a wide range of ministries from around the nation including Pastor Wayne Ogimachi (Lighthouse Christian Church, Seattle area, WA), Paul Tokunaga (IVCF Asian American Ministries), Pastor Steve Chin (Boston Chinese Evangelical Church), Ben Shin (Talbot Seminary), and many more to be announced soon.

We are trusting the Lord to provide at least 100 churches and parachurch ministries who will join together as "partners" to support the 2008 AALC event. Partners commit to pray, promote, and provide financially (any amount, all partners will be listed the same regardless of amount of financial support which will remain confidential).

Would your ministry consider becoming one of the first 75 partners?

If so, please let me know how you would like your ministry listed, the city and state where your ministry is located (national ministries need not provide this info), and the name and email address of your main contact person for future AALC information/prayer requests.

I hope to hear from you ASAP.

Thanks!

2008 AALC Coordinator
