  • Ron Hauenstein: Sharing his heart and vision – Monday June 19th

    Dear Friends, For the past several weeks I have been working on a major message I will present at the luncheon detailed below. The title: “The Future of The Church, Marriage and Fatherhood.” Sadly, all three are in decline and the fate of these sacred institutions is intertwined. I have some startling data to share. I would be deeply honored if you are able to attend Monday, the 19th. I value your knowledge, wisdom and passion about these pillars of our society.  Note that R.A.I.N. luncheons often run until 2 pm. The main presentation usually does not begin until noon…
