We at Apologetics Research Society are excited to announce our fourth annual Christian Evidences Conference.
This event will bring together scientists, scholars, teachers and Christians from around the world to share ideas and to hear inspiring messages.  The event is for anyone who is interested in using Christian evidences as a way to build up their own faith, the faith of those in their churches and to reach out to unbelievers.  The conference will include classes by experts in different fields of apologetics, discussion groups, forums and evangelistic events on Friday evening and Sunday.
