House Church Talk - Keith is coming in February

[Jeanne Elder]

Hello All,
As many of you know, I spent the summer in Spain with Keith and Elaine Smith.  During that time we discussed Keith's coming to the United States.  Keith and I have talked extensively about this.  

He applied for a Visa and had his interview today.  I just talked to Keith Smith.  He was granted a  Visa for one year.  I will be booking his ticket today.  He will arrive the first week in February.  I am asking for your help in setting up meetings for him.  I want to do a house church/healing communities seminar in Feb in Colorado, but I need a place to have it.   After the Feb meeting he will be available for meetings in other areas. A lot of interest has been shown in Keith's work, especially in the fields of House Church Networks and Healing Communities. Therefore we expect that he will be quickly booked up. Although we will pray about each invitation bookings will be made strictly on a first come basis, therefore if you want to ensure that this internationaly recognised speaker can minister near you, you should contact us as soon as possible to reserve your dates.You may contact him for more information.  My role in all this is as a administrative resource.

I am also working to set up a counseling course for Keith to teach. This is a course he has taught in the past.  Keith is a  Dr. in Psychology, with over 20 years experience in training in counselling. He was also on the Faculty of Berea Bible School.  This is a one month basic counseling course class that will provide certificates of attendance for all who come.  This  will be of use for those who may later seek formal qualifications.    It's 3 nights a week and Saturday for 4 weeks.  I am not sure where it will held in Colorado yet.  There will be a suggested donation for the class.  If anyone would like to sponsor a similar course in their area, please contact me for details.

I am also still in need of a place for him to stay.  He will be coming into Denver originally and is hoping to base out of Colorado. If you would be willing to host him or know someone who would please let me know.
