New Schedule for Promise Keepers Conferences in Orlando and Seattle

Due to Hurricane Charley, Promise Keepers has changed the date for the Orlando “Uprising” men’s conference, now set for November 5-6, 2004, still at T.D. Waterhouse Arena. The impact of category 4 Hurricane Charley forced PK organizers to cancel the conference on August 13-14.

Meanwhile, PK conference event in Seattle has also been rescheduled for October 22-23, 2004, at Safeco Field. The date change was necessary to accommodate PK’s new schedule in Orlando.

"The men in Seattle who are willing or able to move to this new date with us are really demonstrating a spirit of support to the guys on the east coast," said Thomas Fortson, president of Promise Keepers. “We really appreciate their heart to assist our brothers who still want a Promise Keepers conference in Florida this year. Plus, the October dates for the ‘Uprising’ men’s conference at Safeco Field might be a bit more comfortable.”

Promise Keepers’ “Uprising: The Revolution of a Man’s Soul” conference is a massive revival for men, encouraging them to live godly lives and to keep seven basic promises of commitment to God, their families, fellow men, and communities.

Since its inception in 1990, Promise Keepers has reached more than 5.5 million men nationwide
