Prayer and Discipleship Conference

Albert and I were blessed to attend this conference at Spring Baptist Church. It was to train and encourage prayer and disciple leaders from churches in TX, AR, OK, and Canada. We attended with Ken and Barbara Davis, Cindy Medema, and our Pastor Scott Blevins. We really got to know the Davis' and probably gained 10 lbs. eating out with them!! They are a wonderful couple. We heard many of the pastors who are apart of the Southern Baptist Convention. Having no idea what was the heart of the religion, this conference gave me much insight. They called us to pray for revival in our churches and communities. We had breakout sessions on setting up prayer rooms and services, personal prayer time, serving in the church, and church programs. These were more in a PowerPoint seminar format. I would have loved to had more interaction with other church leaders to hear what was going on in their congregations. We had a time of worship each day and got to sing hymns. That was a treat! We traveled to Mineola Thursday to pick up our kids. They had a great time playing with their cousins, swimming, going to a Nature Preserve, and visiting with Granny, Granddaddy, Aunt Angela, Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Stephanie. They did not want to come home.
