Keith presents the following seminars and talks:

Keith speaks about 80-100 times a year around the US on many topics related to the ministry God has trusted us with. This talk is entitled HOMELESSNESS: THE VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDE Part 1 and Part 2 was given at Cornerstone Festival in July.
HAVING A PASSION FOR COMPASSION: a motivational talk about being involved in the lives of people who can not repay us. Keith explores the contemporary values of worship, fellowship, discipleship and evangelism and explains how these cherished kingdom values still fall short of God’s will for the church to DO JUSTLY!
RISK YOUR LIFE FOR A CHANGE: Steps to opening opportunities for individuals and organizations to help the poor and needy. Drama along with the parable of the hallway explains how we begin the journey of ministry through commitment. To listen to this message, we have MP3 files available! The message is in 6 parts:

WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? An inspiring talk about some of the difficult issues we must face in order to be involved in the lives of wounded people. Keith uses drama to act out the parable of the Good Samaritan. A recent video was taken of Keith giving this talk. Click here to see the streaming video.
GOD GOES THE DISTANCE: a motivational talk about how Jesus relates to the woman at the well in John chapter four. Keith explains Jesus’ method of evangelism and his approach to despised and rejected people.
GOOD WORKS PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY: An interesting explanation on the five areas of the Good Works ministry.
LIFE PRAYERS: a one or two part motivational talk about the adversity revealed in the lives of Joseph, Job and Jesus and how adversity reveals our true faith and separates it from our ‘talk’.
THE MISSION: This message explores the five questions Moses asks God in Exodus three. Keith explains that everyone in mission must ask these very questions and that if people are not asking these questions, they are not in mission.
THE RITE OF PASSAGE: a Power Point presentation on the rite of passage year Keith and Darlene took their son Timothy on to give him a lens through which he would see the poor and a reference point for the rest of his life.
WITH WHOM IS GOD CONCERNED? This talk reveals the people God is most concerned about and why. Keith explores the issues facing the three people groups spoken about in scripture over and over again: The widow, the fatherless and the stranger.
HOMELESS BY CHOICE? This message explains why Keith has taken journeys into eight cities in the US and what he has learned from being homeless by choice.
