Gary Benedict is President of The Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA). “I am committed to The Christian and Missionary Alliance today because of our rich heritage, our theology of Jesus only, our emphasis on the deeper life, and missions. I am blessed by what God has done to impact the world through our movement and challenged by our mission to complete the Great Commission and bring back the King. The Rekindle the Flame Gathering is a time to experience a fresh encounter with God to prepare us for effective life and ministry, and reflect on the rich tradition in which we serve."

"God has met me at the previous Gatherings, and I have been renewed in my spirit and my passion for Jesus and His Word and work. This experience is one that I would like more of our Alliance family to experience. When the invitation came to hold this gathering in a different place, I asked to have it in Colorado Springs. Rekindle the Flame reflects our core values, and I encourage every layperson and official worker to join us in Colorado Springs in November, 2008. Be prepared to allow
God to speak to your heart and empower your life."
