I think they are purposely making them look 'scary looking' or 'tough.' That's why it says "Serious Speakers" above them. I think they are just putting up a front. LOL.. J/k.
I would really like to go if at all possible.

Where do you see pictures of the preachers? I can only see the pictures of the bore hunt. Here is the definition of " Shock & Awe Preaching". Shock & Awe Preaching: The bold and unashamed proclaimation of contraversial biblical truths that have been deemed by the world as unacceptable and offensive, given without apology or compromise. Here is the actual HOME PAGE: www.soapasn.com/index.htm

All the Open Air Outreach preachers will be there, except for Jeff who will probably be on his honey moon.
It's a great opportunity to fellowship with these brothers like Jim Gilles, Ruben Israel, and John Duncan. Bro Jims been on the campuses 21 years. Ruben been on the streets for 30 years. And Bro John has been open air preaching for over 10 years.
It will be a small conference, but it will be potent. I greatly look forward to the fellowship with brothers of like minds.
ps. The pictures on the site are far from flattering!!

"3:00 Depart for WILD BOAR HUNT in South Georgia at Black Creek Plantation"
... I really was going to make some comments... but I think that line just speaks for itself... so I'll just leave it be.
*looks at the hog pictures*
...sigh. Those poor defenseless animals. "This one was taken by dogs and later released unharmed." Unharmed? Maybe physically, but think about what a traumatic experience that must be! ... I feel sick.

Yeah bro, I was going to post a nice definition of just what "Shock and Awe" preaching really is. You beat me to it. I got some good shock and awe audio from Vegas I should load up soon. Some of the best street meetings I have ever had.

I got the audio loaded up from Vegas. I wanted to post the whole little article about "Shock and Awe" from www.soapasn.com. Shock & Awe Preaching Defined: The bold and unashamed proclamation of controversial biblical truths that have been deemed as unacceptable and offensive by the world and the church for the most part, given without apology or compromise..... In these latter days of rampant Biblical illiteracy it is no surprise that the character and attributes of the God of the Bible are misunderstood by the vast majority of professing Christians in our day. Sadly, this can even be applied to pastors and ministry leaders and campus chaplains....those who have been around the church for a while and should frankly know better.... This is largely due to the fact that the character and attributes of the God of the Bible are virtually unknown with the minor exception of that one attribute that is sung by toddlers just out of their diapers...when this attribute is magnified and isolated by itself to the exclusion of the other attributes what you end up presenting is a false and misleading representation of the God of the Bible. This failure to grasp or comprehend the interrelationships of the character and attributes of God leads many into the error of Cupid worship. They end up worshipping a god that does not exist but for the small space of gray matter between their ears! Yes, it is true that when one surveys the college campus or the man on the street or even the so-called Bible school student one is very apt to find that these people have seriously neglected, ignored, redefined, watered down and feminized the character and attributes of the God of the Bible! The awful reality however is that MOST "church people" will be absolutely shocked out of their minds when they are confronted by an authentic portrayal of the God of the Bible. They will be shocked and they will stand in awe as they contemplate the terrible reality that the god which they have constructed in their mind is absolutely nothing like the AWFUL, FEARFUL, DREADFUL divine being of both the Old and New Testaments. In like fashion, both SHOCK and AWE, like SIGNS and WONDERS, shall follow those who are so inspired, filled, empowered, emboldened and led by this same Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ! What is it that shall accompany the faithful preaching of the uncompromised WORD of God? Signs and Wonders and Shock and Awe...All of these things shall accompany, follow and surround the UN-comprimised PUBLIC Declaration of the Word of God. This is done by the divine leading, unction and quickening of the Holy Spirit of Christ so that HIS enemies should be put to public shame and silenced.....This is done so that HIS NAME should be lifted up and highly exalted above all. To the Glory of God and for HIS kingdom!
And the wild boar hunt sounds awesome...

What a sad day in America when its citizens esteem a wild pest as "poor and defenseless" yet will rally for the cause of abortion.
I'm not trying to implicate you, Morluna...but seeing the words "poor and defenseless" used to describe a wild board in your post did remind me of the grotesque double-standard we see oftentimes in America. *sigh*

"3:00 Depart for WILD BOAR HUNT" but think about what a traumatic experience that must be! ... I feel sick. Morluna, that's because you are sick. Sick with selfishness and sin. Sick with pride and idolatry. You worship the creature, and deny the Creator. Jesus is the only cure for your sickness, Morluna. I suppose we won't see you at the boar hunt, huh?

jeff, speaking of double-standards, most christians are anti-abortion and pro-death penalty. so, what is the justification? do not kill human life until they are thirty?

Charles Spurgeon endorses the SHOCK and AWE Conference
Excerpt
Charles Spurgeon on Shock and Awe
Excerpt from THE SWORD AND THE TROWEL VOLUME 2
ROUGH WORDS FOR GREAT EVILS
By: Charles Haddon Spurgeon
WE fear that our two pictures of last month greatly shocked a few of our good reader’s whose souls are tender towards the established Church of our day; but we do not in any degree apologize to them because the shock, like that of a cold bath early in the morning, will do them good, and strengthen their constitutions. We can assure them that they cannot be one-half’ so much shocked by our ridicule of error as we are by the error itself’. We do not make the evil, we only expose it; and if we use words and symbols which strike and stick, and’ even offend, we believe that they are necessary, and ought to be used far more frequently. We are not going to handle the abominations of the present American establishment with kid gloves; and if we judge sarcasm and ridicule to be deserved, we shall give the Lord’s enemies their full quota of scorn. ----------------------------
I've also recently been informed that we have some new speakers at this conference. Some solid Pastors as well as another Attorney. Nate Kellum with the Alliance Defense Fund who spoke last year will be returning, but also another Attorney who is the founder of the Europian Defense Fund, who formerly worked with Jay Sekulo as a councel member for the American Center for Law and Justice.

That Spurgeon quote is excellent and very much applies to the conference.
Here is the official information on the Attorney guest speaker:
We are very pleased to announce that Attorney Joel Thronton will be joining the SOAPA Conference this year. Attorney Nate Kellum will be arguing a case in a Chicago Court and could not be with us but he recommended that we contact Joel and ask him if he would be interested. Joel said that he was very interested and will be spending more than just a few hours with us. Joel has extensive First Ammendment Case law experience...he worked for the ACLJ with Jay Sekulow for several years...He worked on several ATLANTA based Free Speech cases in the past and will be involved with some of the current case work involving some of our speakers and their lawsuits following the violations of their First Ammendment Rights to freedom of speech on public sidewalks during the homo-pride event in Atlanta....
