When the webcast began in September 2009, we envisioned a global communication tool that would reach conference leaders and pastors around the world. We wanted to provide training, assistance, and a platform for connecting these individuals as they strive to lead our church into a new decade. We named the program "Thrust 20" as an indication that our church is looking forward to the year 2020. Originally, the program was intended to be a quarterly communication specifically for church leadership.

We quickly learned that our initial vision was too small! We received an overwhelming response from lay leaders and church members who wanted to be a part of the webcast, too. The majority of people wanted a monthly interactive experience that would allow them to connect with our leaders and other IPHC members around the world. We needed to CAST a larger vision... so that's exactly what we've done.

Our new monthly format will involve more people,have more diverse content, and will involve multiple communication sources. The monthly program is just the foundation. During each webcast, you'll engage with other viewers around the world in a round-table discussion. Through our
redesigned resource library, you can use these teachings at training events, in small groups, and in presentations. You'll even be able to share the newscast in your weekly worship service.

CAST is a program that will challenge your thinking, awaken your imagination, sharpen your focus, and transform your life.

Join us this Tuesday, February 9 at 11 am CST for CAST.
