ABOUT YBL BANQUETS
YBL Jackson Banquets are hosted twice yearly in
a professional setting and feature a prominent Christian speaker
(businessmen, professional athletes, etc.) who talks about his life and
faith. Each speaker will tell the story of his life and career and explain what it means to
him to have a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
These meetings are usually held over the
lunch hour at a local hotel banquet room. Over 1,300 invitations (which also
encourage invitation by “word-of-mouth”) are mailed to area businessmen and
professionals. Every banquet affords each participant the opportunity of
getting more involved with YBL while at the same time hearing a very
entertaining speaker talk about how he found purpose and meaning in life.
Past featured banquet speakers include Mr. Charles
Olcott, former President of Burger King, Inc.; Senator William
Armstrong, former United States Senator from Colorado; Mr. Norm
Miller, chairman of the board of Interstate Battery; Adolph Coors IV,
President of Coors Family Business Investments;
Frank Reich, former NFL quarterback for the Buffalo Bills; Loren
Roberts, PGA Tour member; Rod Barnes, University of Mississippi
head basketball coach; and Russell O'Quinn, Top Gun fighter pilot.

Spring '08 - Michael Franzese
Michael was the son of a
kingpin in New York, and he officially swore into the mafia when he

per week. After pleading guilty on a racketeering indictment and
serving 10 years in prison, he left the mafia for good. Michael’s
amazing testimony covers how God changed his life and protected him
after leaving the mafia. |
