- You Were Born for This: Keys to a Life of Predictable Miracles
- Bruce Wilkinson Conference, March 20-22

- What happens when ordinary people start experiencing miracles on a daily basis? Do you believe this can happen - how does this happen? The truth is, you were born to live a life doing God's work by God's power - to walk out your door each morning believing that God will use you to deliver a necessary miracle to someone in need.
