Desiring God 2008 Conference for Pastors

The Pastor as Father and Son

On February 4-6, 2008, over 1400 pastors (many with their fathers and sons) from around the world tasted afresh the goodness and mercy of the Lord during the Desiring God 2008 Conference for Pastors. We were greatly blessed through the teaching ministry of D. A. Carson, Crawford Loritts, Greg Livingstone and John Piper (whose biographical message was on his father, Bill Piper). This was the 21st annual conference and it again proved to be a wonderful time of encouragement, fellowship, and heart-probing teaching for the men attending. Be encouraged by comments from some of the pastors:

"Thank you! Thank you! I am SO thankful for this conference. It is the highlight of my pastoral year!"

“The atmosphere of kindness and helpfulness and joy fills every moment and every face of the DG staff. You are so gracious to provide this event for us. Thank you!"

“God is good! I was challenged and encouraged in so many ways to pursue more of Christ in my life and ministry. Thank you for hosting this event. It was my first time to come, I can't wait to come back!”

It was a great privilege to have so many God-besotted staff and volunteers who worked behind-the-scenes. They made the conference what it was! Their humility, patience, charity, and servant-heartedness are a wonderful testimony to the grace of Christ. It’s a joy to serve with them each year.

May God glorify His goodness and magnify His mercy to all the pastors who attended.
