2012 Inked Conference

2012 Inked Conference

The 2012 Inked Conference created a thought-provoking video to promote their event. Here’s more about their conference:

When God created us, He made us uniquely and in His image. In the same way a tattoo irreversibly and unashamedly leaves a mark that speaks to a person’s identity, so God’s fingerprints mark and shape every part of our identities.

Our very identities as Asian/Pacific Americans are embedded with gifts that God wants to use to bless the world around us.

We are inked for His purposes.

How can we leave God’s mark in the places we go? Come as we discover how reclaiming the identity God has given us sends us into His mission with renewed focus, passion, and freedom.

The Conference speaker will be Nikki Toyama-Szeto and held February 17-19, 2012 at
