Speakers will be Pastor Jeff Burr, Mark Cizauskas, Ross Shannon, and Bob McNeil.

FOLLOW HIM CONFERENCE
Missions is not about going somewhere. Missions is about following someone. And that someone is Christ. Lakeshore Baptist Church, Grand Haven, Michigan, will host a Follow Him Conference Oct. 13–14. The conference focuses on Jesus Christ, Who is calling men and women to Himself from every tribe and language and people and nation. This conference is for men and women, singles and couples, young and old, those considering going to missions and those sending others—everyone who desires to follow Him.
