True Church Conference 2009 – Grace Life Church of the Shoals.
Hello everyone … this is brother Anthony Battaglia. Vinh thought it would be a good idea to post from the True Church Conference of 2009. I will attempt to give updates as it is going on. The conference starts tonight and goes until Sunday with a line-up of speakers that is unbelievable.
The topic for this year is “The Wonderful Grace of Repentance”. Brother Craig Gremillion and I drove up to Alabama yesterday from Baton Rouge. We wanted to arrive early so things wouldn’t be as hectic as last year. Last year we got here a day late and everything was rushed. This year, it is different … we got here early … checked into the hotel and had a decent nights sleep.
We just went to Grace Life Church of the Shoals ( www.fbcms.org ) to check in for the conference and had a chance to go through the bookstore! THE BOOKSTORE IS AWESOME. Seriously, I wanted every book in there … at least the ones I don’t have.
I did buy the DVD set of this years conference, so for all of you that would like to see the conference messages, we will have to plan some times to meet and watch them.
We will be starting tonight at 6:30. Conrad Mbewe is the first preacher … he is regarded as the “African Spurgeon” and is presently overseeing the establishment of 10 reformed churches in Zambia and Botswana.
Other preachers for this years conference include Voddie Baucham, David Miller, Jonathan Sims, Paul Washer and Jeff Noblit. You can read more about these guys at www.anchoredintruth.org or just google their names.
I look forward to sharing more with you as it unfolds. This years conference is going to be powerful and we are praying that God will use it mightily for His glory. Pray that these pastors, deacons and leaders in attendance would be encouraged and strive to build not big churches necessarily, but “true” churches for His glory. Their will be over 1000 leaders from all over the world in attendance this year.
God bless you all … talk to you soon.
looking forward to your updates through out the conference!!
is there a link for the videos
Bro. Anthony,
have you spoken with my son, Dr. Nathan Berry? As you probably know HeartCry Missionary Society will no longer be connected to Grace Life of the Shoals. We are moving to W. VA.
In His time and by His Grace,
Nell Berry
thanks for keeping us updated! i think a night of watching some of the videos would be a great idea for those who couldn’t make it.
