CSB Ministries is hosting Our 2nd Annual Iron Sharpens Iron conference on October 23, 2010.
In order to strengthen area churches, CSB and Camp Hickory Hill are proud to present a one day equipping conference, specifically designed for men (age 13 and older). Speakers from across the country will focus on topics that help equip men to be stronger in the roles God has placed us in.
Keynote speakers include Kenny Luck, Men’s Pastor at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California and Reggie Dabbs, emcee for every Promise Keepers Men’s Conference nationwide the last five years. Along with the keynote speakers, there will be two “breakout” sessions with eight workshops to choose from on various topics, and nearly 30 different ministries on display, each offering a unique way to equip men to live stronger for Christ.

Ed Meyer, Board Chairman writes on behalf of the Board of Directors;
I am truly pleased and grateful to God to be able to announce the appointment of John Launstein as the new CEO of CSB Ministries.
We see this as a real answer to prayer and God’s provision. We are also excited because of John’s personal history with Brigade and the fact that he has been leading CSB Canada for the past 20 months. John will continue serve as the CEO for Canada as well as the U.S. We see this as another opportunity to strengthen the relationship between Canada & the U.S. as well as strengthening our ability to move forward boldly together for all that God has in store.
Please join us in congratulating John on his appointment. I know he will appreciate your prayers and support in the days ahead. John begins his new role on November 16.
The Board expressed it’s appreciation at our meeting this past weekend to Don Paterson for pouring out his heart and soul, as well as his talents, gifts and energy, for CSB over the past six years. We wish him well and will continue to pray for him in his new calling.
