Let the Up Rising Begin

By Michael Q. Pink

Christian business and financial representatives from at least 15 nations and 40 U.S. states will converge Feb. 3-6, 2010 in Denver at the 3rd Annual Kingdom Economic Yearly Summit (K.E.Y.S.). “We have many of the top Christian marketplace leaders coming together to offer both economic and spiritual strategies and solutions for business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, and financial professionals in today’s troubled times,” said Bruce Cook, event coordinator. The theme for the event is ‘Fathering Marketplace Leaders: Prospering in an Economic Crisis.’

K.E.Y.S. 2010 includes 33 speakers and 17 panelists and is patterned loosely after the World Economic Forum, but with a Christian focus. I will be speaking alongside an impressive group of marketplace leaders including: Os Hillman, Tamara Lowe, Rick Joyner, Dr. Lance Wallnau, Dr. Pat Francis, Dr. Peter Wagner, John Muratori, Robert Ricciardelli, Chuck Vollmer, Larry Cantrell, Jim Barthel and Dr. Bruce Cook. There will also be a number of breakout sessions as well from these and other presenters.

Those who attend will experience a ‘Mountain Top’ experience unlike any other and will advance in their marketplace purpose, position, passion and power for the Lord. This event is for anyone who works or leads in a business environment, as well as ministry leaders desiring to better understand the marketplace and how to relate to business leaders.   Jim Barthel, President of Kingdom Business Alliance

I will be closing out the seminar on Saturday at noon with a talk being birthed out of what the Lord has walked with me through the last 3 months. It is called, “Let the Up Rising Begin” which is a call God has for us to rise up in the face of challenge despite the losses we may have already incurred. It’s about pressing into our calling and fulfilling the purpose God has for our life regardless of the setbacks we have experienced.

There is a rising up God wants to do within each of us and as a corporate body that we may fulfill His purpose in this historic time. We need to allow Him to rise up within us that we may rise up within the culture and impact the course of history. I hope many of you can come for that session and for the whole of the conference. I will also be doing a workshop on The Planet’s Most Successful Business Model earlier in the week.

The venue for K.E.Y.S. 2010 will be Faith Bible Chapel International, located at W. 62nd Ave. & Ward Road in Arvada, CO. Schedule is 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily Feb. 3-5 and 8:30 am to 1:00 pm Feb. 6th. The event is also being webcast and evening sessions will be offered free after 6:30 pm nightly on a space available basis. Registration fees are $50 for webcast, $99 for students, $199 for adults, and $349 for couples or colleagues. Group rates are also available, with a 15% discount offered to groups of 10 or more.
