The listed preachers are Nathaniel Haney, Eli Lopez, Lee Stoneking, John Arcovio, Matt Maddix, Anthony Romo, and Ronnie Mullings.
My question is simple. Where are the Prophets?? Did they forget to list them?

I have a mixed review of this conference, as being one of the founding members and participants it did me much good in my youth. We would gather in the Mountains with the likes of Morton Bustard who despite what some on here think of him, influenced me to seek these gifts of God.
But it has gotten away from the simple, equipping, mentoring, create an environment for spiritual activity to the usual preaching conference where the attendees come and now watch the experts do their thing.
They will leave feeling energized, tell others that they heard great preaching, exhortation but leave little equipped or exercised their gifting.
Sad because it could be much more...
By the way Arcovio is a prophet, though his misses have been more highlighted than his successes. In my opinion he is the real deal.
