JAMA New Awakening Conference originally started with college students and professionals as its core constituents. Although the first conference in 1996 in Colorado focused on this group, over the years the conference became more and more youth and family centered. As result, college and professionals have lost interested in the NA conference; they do not feel attracted to primarily youth events. While the change is understandable--JAMA felt that we must reach the people younger, and college age was already too late--the loss was real.
Thus, I proposed the idea of having separate, small conferences during the interim years: JAMAcollege, and JAMAprofessional. As the names stand, one will focus on college students and another post-college professionals.
During the summer of 2010, we plan to launch the first national JAMAprofessional conference hopefully in NYC (if not affordable, in NJ), and I am looking for core organizers. The conference will have three core messages: 1. Ownership (Dr. John C. Kim's message) 2. Prayer: repentance and intercession for the nation, 3. Leadership: that Christians must go into leadership in various arenas of life--government/law, entertainment, education, finance, etc.
Besides receiving message from key speakers, the conference will build relationships among Christian professionals. The participants will be able to connect with other Christians by their fields. We intend to group them in several key areas and develop network and relationships which we encourage them to develop throughout the year until the following year's conference.
I AM LOOKING FOR LAY ORGANIZERS. The conference must be by the professionals, for the professionals and of the professionals. I will provide guidance, but the conference must be organized by lay professionals. I am looking for key organizers from several churches from NY/NJ area: event planners, logistics people, graphic designers, etc. If you can help, please contact me at dannyhan@joychurch.com.
