Guest Speakers

Bob Sorge

Bob Sorge served as Music Director at Elim Bible Institute, Rochester, NY, he pastored for thirteen years in the Rochester area and now has been in writing and traveling ministry for over twenty years. Currently based out of IHOP (Int’l House of Prayer) in Kansas City, Missouri, and author of over 25 books, he travels to bring to the body of Christ his passionate message of faith and hope. He’s sometimes called “the speaker who can’t talk” (yet) - that is, he is reduced to a whisper because of a debilitating vocal injury he suffered over 29 years ago. Through the journey, God has given him an empowering message that explores God's purposes in fiery trials. It’s not the fire that changes you but your pursuit of God in the fire that changes you. Bob has a unique way of helping us process our journey, so we stay in the race and overcome. Whether you're reading one of his books or listening to him, you're about to receive a word from the heart of God that will strengthen your faith and draw you into greater intimacy with Jesus.
