Visit Israel in 2013
Have you always wanted to see where Jesus was born, lived, died, was buried and rose again? What about where He preached the Sermon on the Mount or cooked fish on the shore for his disciples? Have you imagined what if might be like to stand where Elijah did on Mount Carmel? I’ve been there and
you can be too. I’ll be leading a trip to see the holy sites of the Bible in January 2013. When you read the Bible now it is in black in white. Once you’ve seen Israel in person, the Bible will come alive and you’ll see it in living color. Make plans now to join us for this great and exciting trip.

Living Beyond Grief Conference
Conducted at 1st Free Will Baptist Church
Dothan, AL
We had a great day at First Free Will Baptist Church, Dothan, AL. Really enjoyed the services and getting to know the good folks there. I enjoyed the fellowship with Rev. Steve Trail and his wife Judy. God moved among us in all three services.
The Conference was conducted in three sessions: 1. During the Sunday School hour all the adults gathered in the auditorium for the first session to hear Roy speak on “Caring For The Caregiver” giving practical insights and encouragement for those who provide primary care for terminally ill loved ones. 2. During the morning worship service Roy provided solid Biblical principals to help those who are grieving over a deceased loved one titled “Living Beyond Grief” and how to understand the grieving process and survive and thrive on the other end of it. 3. Roy finished the Conference on Sunday evening with a final session “Helping the Church and Family” understand their role and responsibilities in helping those who are providing care and hurting during the grieving process. A question and answer time was part of this session.(http://royharris.info/ministries/seminars/living-beyond-grief)
40 copies of the Roy’s Book “Caring For The Caregiver” were purchased and hopefully will make it into the hands of those who desperately need help and encouragement.

Living Beyond Grief Conference
At the request of many pastors and caregivers, Roy developed a seminar/workshop titled LIVING BEYOND GRIEF. As a veteran pastor and one who has firsthand knowledge of what caregiver’s experience, Roy shares practical insight and suggestions to help and encourage caregivers. He also helps pastors, family members, church family and friends understand what caregivers experience and how they can come alongside caregivers during this traumatic time in their lives.
The seminar contains the following: (The seminar and seminar notes are free and the Caring for the Caregiver book is available at a reduced price.)
Part 1. LIVING WHILE GIVING – Helps Caregivers remember they are not alone. God is with them and has not forgotten them. It lets them know that biblically it’s ok to have unusual feelings and also to tell God what they are feeling. It gives practical “caregiver principles” on how to take better care of themselves, accept help from others and successfully navigate through these difficult waters.
Part 2. LIVING THROUGH DEATH – Helps the Caregiver better understand how to face the approaching death of a loved one. This session also helps those who’ve lost loved ones come to grips with many of their feelings. It helps them better understand the stages of grief which many people pass through. It gives practical suggestions on how to live through grief, recover from it and move on with life.
Part 3. THE ROLE OF OTHERS – Helps Pastors, family members, church family and friends understand their roles in helping and encouraging Caregivers and those who’ve lost a loved one. This session gives biblical reinforcement to the church’s role in helping those who help others. It “opens eyes” to how caregivers and grievers may be helped.
Part 4. Q & A – Provides an opportunity for Caregivers, Pastors, church family and friends to ask questions and offer comments about: Caregiving in general, the Caregiver’s responsibilities, the Church’s responsibility, the Family’s responsibilities, etc.
This seminar is offered as a help and encouragement (adjusted to time available). It has been sponsored by Local Churches (3 sessions – SS/Sunday morning & evening services), District Associations and State Associations – For more Information:
