Recently CCEF Executive Director Tim Lane and his wife Barbara traveled to Montreal, Canada, to share CCEF's "How People Change" curriculum with over 500 people at SEMBEQ Seminary in that city. SEMBEQ has formed a partnership with CCEF to assist in their mission of training pastors with a zeal for church planting. The seminary intentionally partners with local churches, and much of the seminarians' training takes place "on the job" in those churches.

Tim & Barbara Lane with Francois Turcotte & Francois Picard of SEMBEQ

During their visit, Tim and Barbara sat down with Francois Turcotte & Francois Picard, two of SEMBEQ's leaders, to discuss their unique vision and mission, as well as how CCEF's teaching ministry has become an indispensible part of the training they offer. This podcast is taken from that conversation.

Wish you could take advantage of the kind of teaching that SEMBEQ considers essential for church ministry in the 21st century? You can! The 2009 CCEF National Conference held November 13-15 will be a jam-packed but inspiring and enriching time of just that kind of teaching. Conference topic is "Sex Matters." Speakers like bestselling author Lauren Winner, your favorite CCEF faculty authors, and many others will provide you with the instruction and inspiration you need to be an effective pastor, church leader, or friend in the difficult area of human sexuality. Come join us for three days of sitting under teaching like you will hear in this podcast. Click here for more information and to register. Space is limited and usually sells out before the conference date!
