LeTourneau University is hosting their second Grandparent with Purpose conference. This event provides an opportunity for grandparents across the country to come and learn how to navigate the critical role of a grandparent. Grandparents are crucial to the development of their grandchildren. With guest speakers, breakout sessions, prayer, and time of fellowship with fellow peers, grandparents will receive the right tools and steps to help impact their grandchildren in a Christlike manner.
Dr. Terry Zeitlow
Conference Coordinator and Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations at LeTourneau University
Three years ago, I heard Larry Fowler speak for the first time. The only thing racing through my mind was, “WOW, I have a huge responsibility to my grandchildren”. I also wondered if other grandparents truly understood the magnitude and the responsibility we have to pass along our Christian heritage. In response, we put together our first intentional Christian Grandparents Conference, and we were overwhelmed by the response and the request for more.
I am so excited about this second event. I am completely humbled and honored to have such amazing talent presenting again at this year’s event. Each of these guests has vision for this subject matter and have sacrificed to participate and share from their vast and personal experience. They are content experts who live in these spaces that will help us understand ourselves and children and youth of today. If you are a grandparent or soon to be grandparent, you will not want to miss this! Make your reservation today!!
