Chances are however, many of our Eastery memories are interupted with running out the door forgetting our earrings (true story…that happened! Really?!) Some of us may […]

Dallas, TX. Thousands of pastors, pastors’ wives and church staffs and volunteers. Creativity like you can hardly imagine being expressed for the gospel’s sake.  Relationships fostered giving life and hope to ministers to stay in the game for another year.
