Heroes of the Black Church Seminar

Celebrate the Legacy of African American Christianity

A One Day Seminar Presented by Dr. Bob Kellemen

Do you long to learn from African American heroes of the faith how God uses suffering to move His people to a place of healing hope?

Dr. Kellemen equips Christians of all races to be empowered by the Heroes of Black Church history to minister God’s healing hope to one another.

Beyond the Suffering

At the Seminar, Christians of All Races Will:

  • Be empowered by the founding fathers of the African American church about how to be a godly male leader.
  • Be equipped by the heroic sisters of the spirit of the African American church to be a powerful female spiritual friend.
  • Be enriched by past African American husbands, wives, fathers, and mothers concerning how to nurture and enjoy godly living in the home.
  • Be enlightened to apply proven ways to help people find healing hope in the midst of deep pain by identifying with past African American believers.
  • Be enabled to minister more effectively in cross-cultural settings by uncovering the buried treasure of wisdom contained in the legacy of African American soul care and spiritual direction.
  • Be encouraged to skillfully practice the historic soul care arts of sustaining, healing, reconciling, and guiding.
  • Be enthused to build healing communities where Christians find courage and comfort in God and each other.

Endorsement by Pastor Tony Evans

“Dr. Kellemen’s work shows us how the pain experienced by people from the African American culture can be redeemed to give life to people from any race or culture. The captivating true stories and first-hand narratives have a therapeutic and healing quality. After you engage Beyond the Suffering, you will have a deeper understanding of how God forged character in people through their suffering and be able to apply many valuable insights to your personal life and future ministry.”
