Fall Conference 2011

^“Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! ⁹ For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” (Psalms)

Fall Conference 2011 was satisfying indeed! There was fellowship at the Dining Hall on the Saturday Evening before the Conference and then church twice on Sunday. Rev. Wright (Angeles City, Philippines) preached in the morning, and Rev. Webster (Vilsek, Germany) in the evening.

A stream of people flowed onto the Campground over the weekend and settled in their rooms making sundry preparations. By Monday Eve. all was ready. The NTCS Choir kicked things off with a couple new songs from Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir’s repertoire; ‘He’ll Welcome Me” and  “Heaven on my Mind”. After a great time of worship, Rev. Ashmore (Western Div. Overseer) preached the opening service message. Rev. Jones (Western Div. Overseer) preached Tuesday Morning and, after lunch, many returned for the Mastering your Music Workshop Part II. 

Tuesday night’s preacher was Rev. Barfield from Anchorage, AK. The next morning Rev. Goff from Newport News, VA, preached. We took a break for lunch and came back at 1:30 for the Servicemen’s Ministry Workshop. Rev. Kinson narrated a slide presentation of the history of Servicemen’s work that will later be posted to our website, in case you missed it. Wednesday Evening service was one big Hallelujah breakdown! No one ever got to preach, as wave after wave of God’s presence flooded the place. There was sustained applause for about 15 minutes or more, and we shouted and danced until it was time to float out of the place. 

Thursday was slightly different; instead of a service and a workshop, the whole morning was devoted to a World Missions presentation by all the missionaries. Each brought photos of their works and were allotted approx. 10 min. each to make a presentation; it lasted much longer, but no one seemed to care. It was inspiring to see what God is doing around the world, and share in the visions of these dedicated workers. The slideshow relating to these presentations will be on the ntccmissions.org website. In the final service, I preached the theme “Approving Excellent Things”.
