Bishop David Ricken

Our Together for Life Prayer Service is a wonderful opportunity for pastors to gather, pray, and offer thanksgiving for the opportunity to serve alongside one another in this life-affirming ministry. All clergy will be welcome to step forward at the end of the service to pray over staff members, and for the men, women, and children being served by this ministry. Bishop David Ricken, from the Diocese of Green Bay, will offer this year's spiritual reflection. Bishop Ricken is a member of the Bishops' Advisory Council for the Institute for Priestly Formation and the Catholic Mutual Relief Society. Bishop Ricken also serves on Relevant Radio's Board of Directors.

Dr. David C. Forbes, Jr.

Our keynote speaker will be Dr. David C. Forbes, Founder and Pastor of Columbus Christian Center Church and Ever Increasing Life Ministries, both in Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Forbes's authenticity, wisdom, candor, and practicality are unashamedly Christian, unreservedly life-affirming, and undeniably inspirational in this mission field. Vida staff members had the great pleasure of hearing him speak at last year's Heartbeat International Conference and are excited to welcome Dr. Forbes to Appleton. You will not want to miss this wonderful event!
