Anybody know if Indy convention will have a teen program this year?

On the registration form it has a slot for teens but no information about it anywhere on the website.

I emailed them a month ago asking about it but got no response. I just emailed them yesterday so hopefully I will get a response next week.

Their office is notoriusly bad about communication. (I know someone who tried to call about something 25 times and NEVER got a response!) Fortunately (or unfortunately), I can contact Mr. Durnell directly. I asked him about something last week and got a reply in a day or two. Hopefully, I can get an answer for you soon!

Their website info is abysmal. The keynote speakers listed on the speaker info page are wrong...Wakefield and Smith are the correct speakers.

I am not impressed with their workshop speakers. uugghhh! I am going anyway just because I can't go to the midwest one (I want to go to that one so bad!!! but can't leave my family like that) I am hoping dh will go with me next year to that one. There are a few workshops that I will go to but I am just not impressed with them this year.

Thank you! I will look forward to hearing what answer you get. You can pm me as I check them often.

I am going to the Midwest one, but I *may* go to Indy just because I want to hear John Stonestreet again. It depends on finances...

Here's the answer from Stan Durnell...I'll pm you, but I thought someone else might want the info as well.

******************

There is no "Teen Track," per se. However, several workshops will be of interest to teens and their parents. For example, there will be a Teen Panel which will present a workshop on "Missions." Also, Jon Stonestreet's workshops on "The Brave New World of Biotechnology: Challenges That Impact All of Us," "Raising Students to Handle Our Entertainment Culture," "Why Students Walk Away From Their Faith (and What We Can Do...)," and "Life on Life: What Each of Us Can Do for the Next Generation," will be of interest to teens and their parents, as will the Legislative Panel's workshop on "Making a Difference in Your Community," Shelley Noonan's workshops "Mentoring Our Daughters from Beautiful Girlhood to Winsome Womanhood" and "Build-A-Man," Jan Bloom's "Books for Boys," Woody Robertson's "Dreams, Desires and Decisions: An In-Depth Look at your Life Purpose,"Living Happily Ever After...A Modern Day Love Story,"Your College Degree Faster For Less and For Sure," "College Credit - No Classroom Required!," and "A Bachelor's Degree by Age 18: Innovative Thinking on Combining High School and College," Brian Sikma"s "Defending our Freedom, Reclaiming Our Heritage," Dr. Whitcomb's "The Genesis Flood," Greg Fowl's "Fathers and Sons Working Together: Discipleship and Apprenticeship," and Steve Byrkett's "Passing on a Godly Heritage (For Men Only)."
