1 Topics of the conference include: It s Time to Be Protestant Again by Pastor Philip De Courcy: Phil brings this challenging sermon to us on the need to return to the basics of the Reformation in an age of ecumenicalism and rising apostasy is the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, and thus, this is a very timely keynote presentation. Evangelizing Catholics by Pastor Philip De Courcy: Phil shares extensive testimonies of living in Ireland which is a nation where protestants and catholics were literally at war. Growing up in a neighborhood where civil tension was commonplace, many of Philip s friends became involved in acts of terrorism. Pastor Phil will take us to the Scriptures and show us how he was able to earnestly contend for the faith in a troubled nation that needed a Biblical voice and witness. Atheists Among Us! by Former Atheist Jason Pratt: Jason is a former atheist that is now a committed Christian and Biblical creationist. He is also a test pilot and rocket scientist serving in the U.S. Navy. Jason will discuss the scourge of practical atheism in the church. Soft Persecution, Hard Truth by Jason Pratt: What are some of the hard truths of the scriptures that will bring persecution to Christians when we believe and proclaim the truths of God s Word? How should we respond to such persecution? Jason will share how as an atheist he personally persecuted Christians, yet was convicted by their response to his attacks. Tracking the Bear by Dr. Mark Hitchcock: Mark will present current events dealing with Russia, Iran, Turkey and Israel that appear to be setting the stage for Biblical events to be fulfilled. While the world reads news stories that bring fear, these same news stories bring hope and anticipation of the soon and glorious return of Jesus Christ for His Church. Where History is Headed by Dr. Mark Hitchcock: This message is from Psalm 2, and Mark uses the Biblical text for the current rebellion against

2 God that is taking place with world leaders and their nations. How is history headed to the kingdom of Christ? This is a message of hope. E-MADNESS: The Imminent Threat of Cyber-Attacks and Cyber- Warfare by Dr. Ron Rhodes More than one-third of U.S. consumers have experienced a computer virus, hacking incident, or cyber-attack in the past 12 months. There was recently a major hack of democratic party records, now blamed on Russian intelligence services. Chinese hackers downloaded digital truckloads of data on more than 20 million U.S. government workers. North Korea raided Sony Pictures computers after the movie company released a comedy movie that mocked their nation s dictator. A hacking group called The Shadow Brokers infiltrated the NSA s computers and is now looking to sell off cyber weapons used by the agency, asking for $1 billion. This session examines cyberspace and cyber attacks, the accessing of private government and military networks, the electronic pearl harbor that many expect soon in the United States, the terrorist cyber-threat to the United States, cyber jihad, the militarization of cyberspace, and how all this relates to biblical prophecy. Biometrics and the Loss of Personal Privacy by Dr. Ron Rhodes Biometrics is a technology that enables identifying people by measuring and analyzing one of their bodily characteristics such as their fingerprints, voice patterns, facial patterns, odor/scent, hand geometry, palm print, iris recognition, retina recognition, and even DNA. This session examines the various forms of biometrics, the two primary applications of biometrics identification and verification, and how this technology, despite some benefits, also contributes greatly to a loss of personal privacy. The ubiquity of biometrics begs the question as to whether any of us can lead truly private lives anymore. This session will show the significance of biometrics to biblical prophecy. God Begins, God Wars, and God Wins: Surveying Through God s Entire Plan in His Word by Abner Chou. In an age where tribulation, persecution, uncertainty, and apathy grows, we need to have the certainty that God has a plan, it is glorious and we are a part of it. Going through the big picture of God s plan in His word tells us that He is worth living and dying for, it is a privilege to serve Him, and our destiny is sure.

3 Why We Are All About Christ by Abner Chou Text: Zech 14:4-5. We live at a time when it is easy to be distracted as Christians from what is central to us: Christ. When we study what the end times reveal about Jesus, we see that there is no one more noble, more beautiful, and more heroic than Christ. We must be all about Him. America's Surrender to Islam (Part 1) by Shahram Hadian: Former Muslim Shahram Hadian will give a cutting edge talk on how we are becoming a "dhimmi" nation. Extortion through Jizyah and foreign aid to Islamic countries Islamized schools: corrupted textbooks, biased curriculum, students praying the Shahada, and more Alarming demographics of Americans converting to Islam Interfaith ecumenical heresy in the church America's Surrender to Islam (Part 2) by Shahram Hadian: Muslim Brotherhood on college campuses growing connection to Nazism and anti-semitism ripe for attack soft targets and gun free zones Churches becoming physical targets for ISIS Hijra Muslim refugee agenda Mixing oil & water Shari'ah law vs our constitutional laws What can we do to turn things around?

4 4 deadly questions all Christians should know The mission field Refuting God Used Evolution and Billions of Years by Mike Riddle How much should we trust Scripture (2 Tim 3:16)? Warnings from God Tools for combat God s Word and the word day Bombs away - the attack on Genesis What does it mean if God used billions of years? The Law of Non-Contradiction A call for courage, honor and commitment Onward Christian soldiers The Future Goes Back to Babylon by Brannon Howse (Part 1 & 2) In this presentation, Brannon starts with Genesis 10 and then takes us on an interesting tour through the Bible to see how the religion of Babylon continues to reveal itself from one book to another until the world s religions unite again in Babylon as described in Revelation 17. How did the children of Israel continue to fall into paganism and idolatry that started at the Tower of Babel? What is the connection between the growth of the New Age Movement and the Babylon religion of Genesis 10 & 11? What is the connection between today s worship of Mother Earth and the Tower of Babel? What is the connection between feminism and the Tower of Babel? What is the connection between today s quest for hidden knowledge and the Tower of Babel? Brannon will also reveal how Babylonian religious beliefs are hidden in plain sight, if you know what you are looking at. What is the connection between globalism and world government and a return to the region founded at the Tower of Babel? How can Christians contend for the faith in a world in which Biblical Christianity is at odds with the uniting religions of the world? How can seemingly opposite religious systems merge? The things discussed in this talk that will have you on the edge of your seat are too many to mention. Brannon will conclude with how understanding these issues will actually encourage you and equip you in your faith as we see a return to the Tower of Babel.
