Beloved Friends,

It is my joy to welcome you to Agape’s 17th annual Revelation Conference, “When the River’s Rising~Remember.” And I thank you for setting aside these days in response to the call of your soul to accelerate your spiritual practices and the evolution of your consciousness.

Each of our presenters is an example of what it means to deliver their gifts, talents and skills as a contribution to the upliftment of humankind, to demonstrate through example what it means to be a beneficial presence on the planet. Throughout these next days they will share how, in the midst of life’s challenges, changes, and demands, they remember to remember that Spirit comes first.

My prayer for you is that as we practice the spiritual technologies of meditation, affirmative prayer, Life Visioning, dialogue, sacred song and fellowship, your heart fully opens to receive the Spirit’s richest blessings of unconditional love and divine communion.

Peace and richest blessings,

Michael Bernard BeckwithFounder and Spiritual DirectorAgape International Spiritual Center
