Laclede Association Annual Evangelism Conference

The Laclede Association Annual Evangelism Conference was a wonderful time of preaching and singing and lifting of our hearts and voices to God. I really get pumped up from being around the evangelists and the pastors that truly want to hear from God and want for their people to hear from God.

Hillcrest Baptist Church in Lebanon was a most gracious host church and the Association as a whole was warm, friendly and showered us with the love of God.

The line-up was much the same as at the Mineral Area Conference with a couple of changes. My number one fan, Bud Lee and wife Barbara were absent. Greg and Jamie Hitt were on the program and did a wonderful job of providing music for worship. Don Walton (one of my favorite preaching evangelists) was there and James Ogan was on the program as a preacher and to provide music. Ron Mills, Harold Mathena, Ron and Haven Howard, and yours truly rounded out the program. I can’t tell you how much it energizes me just to hang out with these guys. As much as it reminds me of how much I’m NOT doing for the work of the Kingdom, it inspires me to get busy—not just as an evangelist, but in the day to day walk of a believer.

I was privileged to perform at Morgan Baptist Church on Sunday morning and at Hillcrest on Sunday night. Thank you to both churches for their warm welcome and a special thanks to the youth at Hillcrest that abandoned the Superbowl game for awhile and came into the sanctuary for the evening program.

It is my hope and prayer that all of the participating pastors are as energized as I am. I hope that they will call on my friends to help them equip the saints in their churches for the work of the Kingdom. I am including contact information and links to web sites for the evangelists from both conferences. Please include us in your prayers and in your plans to bring the Gospel to your communities.
