April 13-14, 2010

It is almost time for the Western Carolina Prayer and Evangelism Conference.  We did not have a conference in 2009 because the state conference was held at Biltmore Baptist Church.

I am excited to announce the details of this year’s conference. This year’s conference will again be sponsored by the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, Carolina Baptist Association, Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute, and Mud Creek Baptist Church.

The morning sessions will be held at Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute, beginning at 9:30. The evening sessions will be held at Mud Creek Baptist Church, beginning at 7:00.

We are blessed to have some wonderful speakers this year. Dr. Don Wilton will be sharing with us in both sessions on Tuesday, and Dr. Richard Blackaby  in both sessions on Wednesday. Dr. Wilton is senior pastor of First Baptist Church, Spartanburg. Dr. Blackaby along with his father, Dr. Henry Blackaby, wrote Experiencing God. I hope everybody will mark their calendars and make arrangements to be there.

This year’s theme is “Experiencing God Through Prayer.”  Dr. Wilton and Dr. Blackaby have published new materials and books since our last conference. They will have a table with some of their latest material and they will be available to sign books.

This will be an amazing opportunity to hear some great teaching on prayer. I also hope we can use this time to experience God through prayer and deepen our relationship with Him.
