Update on Apologetics Conference
January 28th, 2010This is a little early to be letting the cat out of the bag, but I’m pretty excited about it.
We’ve been slowly working on a conference for February of 2011 that will be a bigger version of the conferences we’ve done in the past.
It will be called The Justice Conference and will be co-sponsored by Kilns College and World Relief NEXT.
Today we received confirmation from our second main speaker – Adam Hochschild. Dr. Hochschild is the author ofKing Leopold’s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa and Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free and Empires’s Slaves.
In addition to Dr. Hochschild, we have received confirmation from authors Mike & Danae Yankoski. Mike took a break from college to live on the streets with America’s homeless and wrote the book Under the Overpass to share what he learned. Mike & Danae jointly released Zealous Love: A Practical Guide to Social Justice this past month.
There are several more invites still open – so you’ll have to wait to see what the full list of speakers looks like. We’re only 1/3rd of the way there!!
Mark your calendars now and plan to pre-register at the upcoming Apologetics Conference in February for a special discount price.

Summer Interns
January 28th, 2010Texas. Oklahoma. Southern California. Oregon. Illinois.
These are states where we already have college interns lined up for this summer! We’re getting contacts from every direction and are amazed at how the word is spreading about the Antioch Summer Intern Program. We’ve only made one recruiting trip so far this year, but the word is out there in a crazy way!!
Speaking of intern recruiting trip… here are some pics from Justin, Grace and Brandon who were in So. Cal over the weekend.
