Blog 33 23 Feb 2016 Conference Hilights

Conference Highlights

Puntos destacados de la conferencia
{literally: "points outstanding from the conference" ~ "highlights" translated to "lights above"}

A few pictures of the conference.


First, just the enormity of the conference.  The first night there were easily 1,500 in the auditorium, including nearly 75 on the stage with the choir and musicians. 
The total attendance was well over 2,000.

4-6 Year Old Morning Class

The children had their own sessions.  There were also sessions designed for the  youth, including afternoon "workshops" just for PK's (Preacher's Kids).

The room for the ladies' sessions was beautifully decorated and furnished with snacks by Hna. Laura and her helpers.  We had many wonderful speakers.

Mrs. Brenda Ashcraft





Mrs. Debra spoke from Daniel 1:8 and encouraged all those who work with children to train them to choose the good while they are still young.

Mrs. Barbara Davis (interpreted by Hna. Jessica) gave ten ways to pro-actively discourage disouragement from overwhelming us.

Mrs. Charlotte Lowe

Mrs. Brenda had different ladies represent ladies in the Bible with lessons we could learn from each.
Mrs. Charlotte Lowe, who served for many years as missionary to the Jews of Spain, gave us principles from the life of Esther which should be emulated.  Bro. & Mrs. Lowe now work to help other missionaries to Jewish communities of Spanish speaking countries.

Mrs. Carrie Suhl gave her testimony.  Shortly after they arrived in Mexico as missionarries, her husband Truitt died in a car accident.  Her decision to stay on the field with their infant son speaks volumes.

The evening services were also encouraging, mostly preached by the husbands of those ladies pictured above.  It was harder for me to recap those as the men spoke much faster than the ladies.  After the reading of the verses, I was pretty lost. However, just the fact that this great number of Christian leaders were gathered for the purpose of strengthening and renewing their committments to the furtherance of the Gospel was more than encouraging.  

Pastor Daniel Parker,
Heritage Baptist Church, HS, AR
It was nice to see my "home" pastor, Bro. Daniel, from Hot Springs.  He took tons of pictures, so if you would like to see more, check out his FB page from my friends' list.  
Side note: My Pastor won five young men to the Lord during men's soulwinning on Friday night! :)

Soulwinning

Sembradoras

On one day of the conference everyone in attendance loaded up on vans and busses and went soulwinning!
This was definitely an exciting sight to see!  

Weather Update:

It was bright and sunny for the majority of the conference with the temperature mostly hanging around 85* for the week.
