A Three-Day Conference for Those Who Serve Jesus in Word or Song
We all know the importance of being encouraged when we are fulfilling the call that God has on our lives. Whatever our roles might be—as pastors, lay workers, music ministers, or people just pursuing God’s next stage for our lives—we must keep learning and being strengthened on a regular basis. Because of this, we at the Brooklyn Tabernacle are announcing our first-ever two-track conference, The Calling: Burning Words and Joyful Praise, to be held in New York City from Friday, September 26, through Sunday, September 28.
The first track, Burning Words, will be for pastors, staff members, lay people, and those simply seeking clarity on God’s calling on their lives. As I wrote in my new devotional coming out during the conference, what we need today is ministry that results in burning hearts touched by God. The second track, Joyful Praise, which will be directed by my wife, Carol, will be aimed at worship leaders and their team members, choir directors, and choir members—all those who are called to lead God’s people in joyful praise.
The Holy Spirit wants to begin a new work in each of our lives and ministries. As we draw near to God, He has promised to draw near to us, and the result will bring unimagined blessings on our churches. Don’t miss this opportunity for the spiritual breakthrough we all need and desire.
