Although she has achieved numerous gold albums and her songs are sung in many nations of the world, her success is not the result of pursuing stardom and fameit stands as a testimony to her life's passion to serve God and people with all her heart.
As a songwriter, Darlene is perhaps most famous for the chorus "Shout to the Lord," a song that is sung by an estimated 25 to 30 million churchgoers every week. "Shout to the Lord" was nominated as Album of the Year for the 1997 Dove Awards and Song of the Year for the 1998 Dove Awards. In 2000 Darlene received a Dove Award nomination for Songwriter of the Year.
Darlene has written over seventy songs that have been published by Hillsong Music Australia alone. She has also written three books on her passion, which include Extravagant Worship and her latest release, The Kiss of Heaven.
Darlene has a great heart for helping hurting people. Currently, she is an ambassador for the work of Compassion International, and is committed to relieving human suffering in any possible way. A new project, featuring the theme of worship and justice is in production now.
A missions trip to Central Africa in 2004 prompted Mark and Darlene to initiate Hope: Rwanda, a global endeavor designed to bring hope to a nation seemingly forgotten since the horrific genocide of 1994. The 100 Days of Hope (April 6 July 15, 2006) project was strategically coordinated to cover the same 100 days that saw approximately 1 million people viciously slaughtered. www.hoperwanda.org

Tales from a Tomato*
Phil Vischer
Jellyfish Labs
How do we work every day to creatively show the world God's love without becoming so stressed that we have no love left to show? Through stories from his life before and after Veggie Tales, Phil shares how he found joy in ministry once again.
Phil Vischer
Phil Vischer made his first animated film when he was nine years old; by the age of fourteen, he was convinced he would be a filmmaker when he grew up. After a brief stint at a Bible college, Phil struck out on his own, looking for a way to integrate his faith with his filmmaking. This quest led him to a tomato and a cucumber. The year was 1991, and Phil was a newly married 25 year-old with no financial backing and no idea how his vegetables would ever see the light of day. Today, almost 50 million VeggieTales videos have been purchased and Phil's faith-filled stories can be found in one-third of all American homes with young children. Although Phil's original company, Big Idea Productions, collapsed in bankruptcy in 2003, Phil continues his creative involvement with VeggieTales through its current owner. Phil also is actively developing new ways to integrate faith and storytelling through his new creative shop, Jellyfish Labs (JellyfishLabs.com). Phil captured the breathtaking rise and heartbreaking fall of Big Idea Productions in the book Me, Myself & Bob. He is also the author of the popular children's books Sidney and Norman and 47 Beavers on the Big Blue Sea. Phil lives with his wife Lisa (aka Junior Asparagus) and their three kids in Wheaton, Illinois. For more information, visit www.PhilVischer.com.

Human beings are not both body and soul, we are embodied souls. The body is a dimension of our personhood; a dimension of our soul. How do we live more mindfully and fully as embodied souls? How exactly do we honor God with our bodies? What is the importance of fasting, or other spiritual practices that involve the body? What spiritual significance is there to art and other physical expressions of the self?

| A006 |
|
|
Using his book "Who Stole My Church," Gordon MacDonald will highlight some of the major themes challenging today's church as it seeks to adapt its ministries to 21st century realities. MacDonald's most important question: how do we get the generations to talk to each other? How do we convince the generations that each one has value to add to the life of the community? Finally, MacDonald will use the book to demonstrate what leaders have to do to build trust among people who are resistant or fearful about issues pertaining to change and adaptation. It is essential for participants to have a copy of his book for this session; copies can be purchased on Amazon or at Seeds bookstore on the Willow campus.

| Designing Services through Creative Partnership: How the Senior Pastor can Work Effectively with the Arts Director | |||
| A008 |
|
||
One of the great challenges facing the Arts Director is working alongside the Sr. Pastor. Much of the time the Teaching Pastor not able to be present in the planning, and simply give a sermon title and a bit of content to the team in order to begin planning. Our experience says the best services seem to be planned when the teaching Pastor is a part of the creative process. Hear from one team how their creative collaboration and mutual respect is bringing great joy in the journey. While at the same time building a team experience that is bringing out the best in all of its creative teammates.

Jeff Griffin
Jeff Griffin's favorite part of being a senior pastor at The Chapel is that he gets to help people fall in love with God through his preaching. Jeff and Scott Chapman started The Chapel in 1994 after meeting at Trinity International University's Evangelical Divinity School. Early on, Jeff served as The Chapel's first worship leader until Scott helped him realize that leading worship was not one of his gifts! As senior pastor, Jeff is responsible for preaching, planning sermon series and shepherding staff members - all responsibilities that fit his passions and giftings. He also serves on the elder board and the weekend experience planning team. Jeff was raised in a strong Christian family in Arlington Heights, Ill.

They have three children: Jorah, Janai and Jake, two of whom are adopted.

| A012 |
|
|
We all buy gear that comes with an owner's manual, explaining how to get the most out of a piece of equipment. Unfortunately, there is no owner's manual on how to be a technical artist in the local church, to help us learn how to deal with the frustrations that all production-type people face. We are a special breed, unlike anyone else in the church and we are often misunderstood and feel completely alone. In this session, we will look at some key principles for becoming the technical artist God created you to be and one that your church desperately needs.

| How to Build Great Student Bands: The Heart and then the Voice | ||
| A017 |
|
|
The idea of having a great band filled with students leading their peers in soaring beautiful worship is a vision dancing in the head of every good Youth Pastor and Worship Leader. However when most of the student 'musicians' can only play a lick from the latest Fall Out Boy and seem to stand in the corner sullenly during every worship time, things begin to seem a little less than ideal. This session will focus on how to grow students skills, hearts, and confidence while not ruining the entire youth group's ears in the process.
