2007 CAM Conference Information & Registration
June 13-16, 2007
CALLING ALL CAMsters!
If you are serious about growing your ministry, you can not miss this year's
conference!
This Year's Schedule for the conference will include:
We will once again be blessed to have John Michael Talbot, Founder and
General Minister of CAM, talk to our CAM family about spirituality and music
ministry. I have been privileged over the last 9 years to hear John's inspiring
talks and I can say that the Holy Spirit has given him the most beautiful words
to share with us. This is something you can't afford to miss!
 Lynn Geyer, President and "Fairy Godmother" to us all, has waived her magic
wand and non-other than, Tom Jackson, will appear as a keynote speaker for
this year's conference! Tom is one of the foremost onstage consultants in the
Music Industry. For over 15 years Tom's unique experience, insight, teaching
and approach to performance coaching have qualified him as the premier coach in
the industry.
Tom has influenced countless artists either via his seminars or as a
consultant to artists. I was at the 2000 CAM conference and heard Tom's
presentation. Let me tell you that our ministry changed because of Tom's wonderful
coaching and ideas. Make sure you bring plenty of paper and a sharp pencil
because you will be writing down so many new ideas it will take you a month to sift
through them all! For more information on Tom go to www.tomjacksonproductions.com

Celebrations as well as private meditation.
