March 20, 2009 AD ~ Pioneer Baptist Church will be hosting an Evangelism Conference for the SBC of Virginia. This is an annual conference within our state convention and will be held at 4 locations in 2 days. For more information you can log on to www.sbcv.org/evangelismconference or call 888-234-7716.
I'm particularly excited about our opportunity to host this event. This is my favorite conference of the entire year. It will include messages from Algernon Tennyson, Hershael York, and Grant Ethridge. PBC Praise will be leading worship and this event also includes breakout sessions to better equip God's people in sharing the Gospel.
Yesterday I received a phone call from brother Tennyson and he is excited about coming to Southwest VA to share his gifting as an evangelist. It was a joy to speak with one of God's chosen vessels. Allow me to share you with you some of his testimony as I have come to know it:
Algernon Tennyson grew up in one of the poorest parts of Lithonia, Georgia. As a teenager, he had aspirations of growing up to play in the NBA. During his sophomore year of High School Algernon's life was radically changed through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Verbally committed to Georgia Tech for basketball Algernon realized that his passion had changed. Basketball was no longer the driving force in his life but rather his new faith in Jesus Christ. What happened? It could have been the fact that during his junior and senior year of High School that God used him to lead over 60 students to Christ!
After a 4 year commitment to the US Navy he entered full-time ministry as an inspirational speaker and evangelist. In 11 years of ministry Algernon has seen thousands of people from every walk of life accept Jesus Christ as Savior & Lord. For more information about his ministry you can go to the web http://www.awakenintl.com/
Algernon's story is just one of many who have been radically saved through faith in Jesus Christ. Do you have a story to share? Has God dramatically impacted your life? Evangelism is simple: It's sharing God's love with others. There's no "right" way to do it. You either share the Gospel or you don't. However, if you would like to be better equipped then this conference is for you.
"But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power and will tell people about me everywhere - in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8 NLT
