Conferences
Beyond Belief
This 2-day conference was held at Grace Fellowship in Maryland on May 1-2, 1998. In titling the conference "Beyond Belief," Dallas was referring to the fact that we can live a life that encompasses what we read in the Bible and hear in our Christian teaching - a life that is beyond belief!

Men's and Women's Retreats
In October of 1987, Dallas had the unique blessing of leading both the men’s retreat and the women’s retreat for Valley Vista Community Church, his home church. Both retreats were small and intimate, and it often seems like we’re listening in as a father or older brother talks with his family. This is very practical advice on living as a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, including working on our plans for how we follow Christ with all the spiritual and the practical aspects of our lives.
Men’s Retreat: Confidence in God
Women’s Retreat: A Woman’s Prerogative in Christ
The book Dallas asked the ladies to read prior to the retreat was The Blessing, by Gary Smalley and John Trent.
