The Eagle Mountain House in Jackson, New Hampshire, warmly hosted H.I.M.'s second marriage conference of the 2006–2007 season on the weekend of March 30–April 1. This popular conference, which was sold out and had a waiting list, was "the best conference ever" according to one attendee. Dr. David Hegg and his bride of 30 years, Cherylyn, flew in from Corona, California, to speak on "Mission Possible: Having a Blockbuster Marriage" and did so with credibility and conviction. David is a theologian with much practical wisdom and he challenged and inspired all through his teaching and modeling, which were exceptional. When not teaching, the Heggs were very available and accessible which increased their effectiveness exponentially. Worship was lead by Erik and Marlene Kerr, and accompanied by Scott Shattuck. Long time favorites, the Kerrs lead with passion and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit in their humble, non-performance style. Erik did entertain the crowd Saturday night with a concert featuring many of his own songs, which were diverse in style and message and reflective of his immense giftedness. Numerous workshops were offered Saturday and Sunday and all were well
attended. Along with a number of tried and true topics such as
temperaments, in-law relationships, and keeping your marriage alive,
several new workshops debuted. Dr. Seth and Melanie Bilazarian lead
a well-received session on maintaining balance in life between work,
marriage, and family, and did so quite credibly and humorously, In addition to the spiritual food which was solid and bountiful, the Eagle Mountain House cheerfully served up fabulous meals in their quaint, historical restaurant. Rave reviews were expressed about each of the buffets, which culminated with a phenomenal brunch Sunday. Most assuredly, none left hungry. By God's grace, none seemed to leave untouched spiritually as well. In the midst of much spiritual warfare leading up to and during the conference, God showed up in a big way. In the words of one attendee:
