September 17-19, Camp St. Christopher, Charleston, SC: Clergy who have been at it even a short period of time are aware of the soul drainers that lurk in the deep waters of ministry. Finding one's soul-givers and integrating them deeply into our lives is a necessity for sustained effectiveness in ministry. Participants will learn, grow, and be empowered to live more effectively.
