    Overview

    The Old Testament instructed believers to join together for annual feasts, and the Heartland Conference has traditionally gathered for an annual Camp Meeting. We continue to look for ways to draw new and old members of the Conference together for a time of refreshing, inspiration, training and fellowship!

    Our theme this year is "Blessed To Be a Blessing!" You'll hear messages and teaching on a variety of topics including:

    • Ways God can bless your church to grow
    • How God can bless you in the most difficult of circumstances
    • A fresh look in God's blessing on finances
    • Secrets of a blessed Christ-centered family

    Joining together from the individual churches of the Heartland Conference is how we become One Church In Many Locations!

    Lisa Cherry

    As a speaker, teacher, and author, Lisa has spoken to thousands of adults, youth, children, and women's ministries since her teen years. Since her own life and world view was totally transformed by the timeless truth of God's Word, she is passionate to bring an awakening and equipping message of hope to a confused generation. Her compassionate and yet penetrating style captivates audiences of all ages as they laugh and cry their way to change.

    Lisa has seen a lot in 30 years of parenting her 10 kids (and yes, they are all biological with the same set of parents and no twins)! But the experience of bringing her oldest daughter through the crisis of being sexually abused by a member of her church was unlike anything she was prepared for. On the victory side of the pain, she is equipped to share the essential keys to successfully protect and navigate a generation in trouble through times of crisis. Her message is a now word for the body of Christ equipping us to survive the pressures of this dark age.

    Lisa tours with Teen Mania's Acquire the Fire Tour as a conference speaker and she ministers to thousands of parents across the nation every year. She has been interviewed on Moody Radio, CBN.com, American Priorities, and American Family Radio.

    Doug, Lisa and their family have pastored Victory Dream Center in Carbondale, Illinois for the past fifteen years. Together they also founded REALITY Youth Center, Frontline Family Ministries, and POTTS (Parents of Teens and Tweens), a national coalition building the next generation by equipping parents. Lisa has her BS in Nursing from Southern Illinois University and has enjoyed 33 precious years of marriage to her best friend, Doug. Her books include Not Open, Unmask the Predators, and Stick!.
