POWER MEALS
Proverbs tells us that He who walks with the wise grows wise.  It is sometimes so difficult to set aside time to soak in the wisdom of those who God has so richly poured into.  During the North American Children's Ministries Conference we have strategically set aside that time with each of our general session speakers for just that reason.
The lunches will be privately catered in a room set aside just for your group.  The dinners will take place in the beautiful "Top of the Riverfront" restaurant.  Twenty-eight stories above the cityscape, the Top of the Riverfront revolves 360 degrees, providing spectacular, panoramic views of St. Louis. Impeccable service and innovative American cuisine make a night at the Top one to remember.
Both lunches and dinners have been planned with one of our fabulous speakers, a staff member and 10 friends.  This intimate time will be an hour and forty-five minutes that you will absolutely want to take advantage of.  Not only will you be able to gain valuable insight, knowledge and wisdom from our great speakers but also build some phenomenal relationships with others who like you want just a little more.
And if that wasn't enough, we have asked each of our speakers to give us a book list of the books that have helped them in ministry the most.  You will go home with 2 of those books as well as other great leadership tools to give you just a little bit clearer vision for yourself and your ministry.
The following are slated to lead these exciting interaction times... 

 
RAVENCHASE
Have you ever wanted to be a spy?  Find buried treasure? Duck down an alley to avoid your archenemy?   Or just have one Sunday afternoon when you weren't bored to tears?
Now you can! Tuesday evening during the 2010 North American Children's Ministries Conference, join us for a Ravenchase Adventure.  What is Ravenchase you say?  Ravenchase is the best thing that has happened to guide your adventure since the compass.  It's the fun of the reality television show, the brilliance of a Hollywood action adventure moved plus the fun, competition and challenge of beating rival Children's pastors.
The Ravenchase staff will meet us at the adventure start location to provide basic instructions, helpful hints, handmade treasure maps and some of the clues (other clues may need to be discovered along the adventure).
Solve all the clues in the shortest amount of time and you win the race.  The final answer in the race will ultimately lead everyone to the chosen destination where tales will be told and fabulously tacky trophies and bragging rights will be awarded.
And the best part of this wonderful adventure...you're networking and team building as you solve the riddle of the St Louis Raven Chase!
