LAST DAY TO GET YOUR TICKETS! Why You Should Care About the Imago Dei Conference...

Have you ever wondered why it's crucial to be educated and equipped to respond to the challenges of our time? As Christians, we believe we are image bearers of our Creator, and this belief calls us to action. The Imago Dei Conference is your opportunity to engage deeply with the issues that matter most, particularly the pro-life cause.

Why Pro-Life Matters
As fellow humans and even more so as believers, it's our responsibility to protect the sanctity of life. When we don't care or engage, we become accountable for the consequences around us. Did you know that right now, there's a push to change the Nevada Constitution to allow abortion through all nine months of pregnancy which is tied to an ABORTION TOURISM campaign? This alarming possibility is on the table because, as a church, we have often chosen not to engage.

Shame on us if this goes through! But there's a way to stop it. Your first step is attending the Imago Dei Conference. Here, you will be educated, inspired, and equipped to make a difference. Don't stand by—take action now.

This IS the issue of our time for Christ followers. Come get educated and equipped on how to give a response to others. We were created in the Image of God, and Satan does nothing more than try to destroy that and confuse the church. Our theme is "Challenge Accepted!" We hope to see you all there for such a time as this.

Just a reminder, they are working to change the abortion law from the current 24 weeks/6 months of pregnancy to ALL 9 months. This will usher in a new all-in abortion tourism campaign to our city where God has given us charge over. This conference is a must if you care at all about this!

Be encouraged, with God all things are possible IF His people respond!

Please share and invite your friends and family to come with you!

🌟 As Christians, we are called to stand firm against anything that goes against God's will, including the issue of abortion. It's natural to feel conflicted, especially when considering the compassionate aspects of difficult situations. However, it's vital to remember that taking a life is never the solution to a problem. 🛑

If you're unsure about your feelings on abortion, turn to God in prayer and seek His guidance to transform your heart. 🙏 We believe in the sanctity of life because every life is precious and created by God. Ending a life, no matter the circumstance, is not the compassionate choice—it is a decision that goes against the very nature of our faith.

In these challenging times, there are those who advocate for abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. This will become a reality if the church remains uninvolved or silent. As Proverbs 31:8-9 says, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." 🗣️📖

As believers, we must stand for life and advocate for solutions that uphold the dignity and worth of every person. Let's come together, support one another, and seek God's wisdom in these challenging times. 💖

Seth is dedicated to educating believers on the spiritual battle unfolding in our nation and our churches. He travels far and wide, speaking to encourage the church and, when necessary, challenging us to see past the propaganda and lies, urging us to seek the heart of God. 🙏💪

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to hear from Seth and engage with a diverse array of church, civic, and community leaders, both local and state. 🏛️✨
