Kid-friendly 2009 GARBC Conference

Parents, don’t miss a tremendous learning opportunity for your children! Bring them to  the GARBC Annual Conference, June 22-26,  where they will explore  topics such as Paul, Rome, and the Underground church.Why go to other ministry conferences where kids are excluded? Come to the Annual Conference! Register today. The GARBC places a premium on educating children in God’s Word.

Make International History!

Attention pastors and ministry leaders: be part of something bigger than your own ministry! The International Partnership of Fundamental Baptist Ministries (IPFBM) invites you to attend its first biennial conference in Bangkok, Thailand, November 4-7, 2009. God has brought together fifty-three associations from fourteen countries, representing nine thousand local churches through the IPFBM. Meet your international brothers; see how God is working in their countries. You will be challenged spiritually and encouraged in your own ministry. Pray, talk with your church, ask the Lord for funds, and register! See Chris Hindal’s special video invitation. You may register online.
