CHURCH AND CULTURE CONFERENCE
The Wisconsin Association of Regular Baptist Churches’ spring conference will help today’s Christian think through Jesus’ mandate to love our enemies. Memorial Baptist Church, Verona, Wisconsin, will host the conference on Saturday, April 9. With terrorism specifically targeting Christianity on the rise and public scoffing at anything to do with Jesus becoming more brazen, how should today’s Christian respond? You are invited to attend this Church and Culture Conference, designed to encourage and strengthen the believer in Jesus Christ. Keynote speaker Irfan Abdullatif understands the difficulty in following Jesus’ command to radically love the radical opposition Christians face around the world. With a Middle Eastern background and a ministry to the Middle East, Irfan has a passion to help believers respond with compassion, for the simple reason that it is what Jesus has asked His followers to do.
