You won't want to miss our featured speaker, Scott Rigsby, who is a world class athlete with a testimony to share. On October 13, 2007, after enduring the elements for 16 hours and 43 minutes, Scott Rigsby became the first double-amputee in the world to finish an Ironman distance triathlon with prosthetics at the 140.6-mile World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Rigsby's unique story of success, failure and faith, all started with a decision and the desire to never quit, no matter what, no matter how long. Check out Scott's story at: http://www.scottrigsby.com/scottrigsbystory.html.
We are pleased to announce that The Wesley Foundation Praise Team will be leading the music for the closing worship gathering!
