Life’s journey is full of ups and downs, twists and turns. Trust and hope in God help us along the way, as illustrated in the life of Moses. We also need the encouragement and cheering on as portrayed in the Book of Hebrews: "...since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." (Hebrews 12:1-2)
The theme of this Summer Convention is Homeward Bound – Persevering Faith. It’s my privilege to invite you to join us at the Convention to offer praise to God, listen to His Word, and have your life challenged and transformed by the Holy Spirit. I hope to see you there!
