Sponsors Needed

There is a conference going on at my church in San Antonio this weekend. I'm going to be in town regardless of whether I go to the conference or not because I'm staying in Waco over Thanksgiving to work on some papers that will be due after the break. My youth minister, Rob started this conference, called the Apologia Conference back when I was in high school and I've been to every one since. The first speaker was an apologist, Greg Koukl, and we've had other great theologians like Francis Beckwith (whom my Baylor friends will recognize) and Norman Geisler. As I mentioned, I've gone to the conference since it started but this year, there's a rub. The conference is a little different because it is being sponsored by the Evangelical Philosophical Society which is having their annual conference in SA this year. The list of speakers this year blew me away. Here are some of the people that will be there that I would love to hear speak; William Lane Craig, Lee Strobel, Greg Koukl, Paul Copan, Ben Witherington, III, James Porter Moreland, Francis Beckwith, and Norman Geisler. That is not even half of the list of the speakers. I will enjoy many of the topics this year as well. Ok, I know that you are not as excited about this as I am, but humor me. The rub lies in the fact that my cost of attendence this year will be $55 dollars. I'm not even going to be able to go to the first night and they still wouldn't come off of the price. I can't bear the thought of missing tbis opportunity but I really don't have the money to put to it right now. My priority with money this semester has been getting my car windows fixed and visiting grad school. I really can't afford to stretch my money any further this semeseter. So... all of that to say...ANY DONATIONS? ;-)
