We hope you will join us for our third East Coast Sozo Summit, and a celebration of the 10th year of ministry for Sozo DC.  It will be an encouraging time of training and networking, as well as celebration and furthering our passion for God and what He is doing through Sozo Ministry. 

Come to be refreshed and strengthened in your spirit and have your Sozo Ministry activated to move to the next level, or come to learn about Sozo Ministry for yourself or your church, healing ministry or counseling practice.

NOTE: This summit will *not* include the Sozo training needed for becoming a Sozo Ministry team member.

The summit is an opportunity for current Sozo ministers and new attendees to learn more about the many areas of Sozo Ministry that are impacting the world: Basic and Advanced Sozo, Shabar, Children's Sozo, Educational Sozo, Financial Sozo, Creativity Sozo, Art Sozo, Sozo for Professional Counselors, and Couples Sozo.  

NEW for us this year is Sozo Unshackled, ministry to those often 'not seen' because of their physical and/or neurological diversity.  There will also be information on insights into ministry to the deaf and hard of hearing.
