We’re responding to the technical issues with Inclusion Fusion

Our partners are in the process of increasing the capacity of the servers hosting the conference. We believe that your Inclusion Fusion experience will improve as each hour passes by. I personally guarantee that everyone who wants to access any of the conference lectures and materials will have adequate time and opportunity to do so.

Our ministry team is very grateful that Chuck agreed to be our Keynote Speaker for our first annual Special Needs Ministry Web Summit.

Guest Blogger Jolene Philo…Back to the Basics

Inclusion Fusion Speakers…Jeremy Collins

Without Jeremy Collins, we wouldn’t be able to put on a conference like Inclusion Fusion.
Jeremy serves of the Children’s Pastor and Media Director at Bethel Harvest Church in Nicholasville, KY. In Jeremy’s spare time, he launched a website, Pajama Conference, to provide ministry education for free or at a very low cost. Pajama Conference was founded upon the belief that education shouldn’t have hours of operation or believe that you should have to spend a lot of money on travel and hotels to go to a conference to learn what you can in your pajamas. Several members of our team had an opportunity to participate in this year’s Children’s Ministry Websummit, saw the potential Jeremy’s technology presented for equipping churches to serve families of kids with disabilities and Inclusion Fusion was born.
