GUEST SPEAKERS
ROMAL TUNE
Romal is the embodiment of living beyond the label. After overcoming the setbacks of his upbringing and the destructive choices of his youth, he is now a sought out communicator, community strategist, and inclusion consultant. His platform, one of the most potent and rich stories of hope you’ll ever hear, is REDEMPTION. If it is true that a story must be lived before it is told, Romal’s story of redemption is as genuine as it is moving. With every opportunity he has to impact decision makers or crowds of people around the world, Romal is a cultivator of hope and dignity, moving individuals from setbacks to success as leaders — something he knows full well.
SHANE CLAIBORNE
Shane Claiborne graduated from Eastern University and did graduate work at Princeton Seminary. In 2010, he received an Honorary Doctorate from Eastern. His adventures have taken him from the streets of Calcutta where he worked with Mother Teresa, to the wealthy suburbs of Chicago where he served at the influential mega-church Willow Creek. As a peacemaker, his journeys have taken him to some of the most troubled regions of the world – from Rwanda to the West Bank – and he’s been on peace delegations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
FARHANA SULTANA
Farhana Sultana is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs of Syracuse University. She is broadly interested in nature-society relationships, political ecology, development studies, feminist theories, climate change, water governance, and South Asia. She has conducted research in Bangladesh for several years on a variety of environment-development topics. Her latest book is “The Right to Water: Politics, Governance and Social Struggles”.

SATURDAY NIGHT CONCERT WITH: STARS GO DIM
In Genesis 22, God promised Abraham that his descendants would outnumber the stars in the sky, and we are a product of that promise. We have been given lives and breath, but as surely as the sun rises, so our lives are “like a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James 4:14). Symbolically, our lives follow much of the same pattern of a star in the sky: they are formed, burn, dim, and die. Conversely, our Creator, who made every atom in the sun, sky, and sea, and who knitted us together, never dims, tires, fades or leaves us in any way. “His light shines in the darkness and darkness can never extinguish it.”(John 1:5). As ultimately our “Stars Go Dim” in this life, we as a band want to point with all that we have to the One who created light and life, the One who steadily shines and sustains. – Chris,Michael, Kyle, and Josh of Stars Go Dim

First 12 is a two-day training event designed to help clergy and laity gather and grow the first twelve people in your new ministry, new church, or new faith community. Combined with a year of practical coaching follow-up, you will learn the skills, habits, and lifestyle practices that will give your new vision the best chance of launching with a team of twelve committed leaders.
First 12 is a product of the best thinking available from the team at Path1 New Church Starts, who have coached and consulted with hundreds of leaders in starting new ministries, new churches, and new faith communities. Although designed from new faith community planting, this training is equally valuable for existing church leaders who want to start new small groups, new fellowships, new mission outreaches, new worship services, or new gatherings.
