State Evangelism Conf. coming to Brandon By William H. Perkins Jr., Editor The 2015 State Evangelism Conference will kick off on January 25 with a special worship service at Brandon Church, Brandon, and continue throughout the next day with preaching, praise, and dinner courtesy of the host church. “We’re asking Mississippi Baptist churches to consider turning out for the Sunday evening worship service, to come as a church family to a worship event that is only available to them when the State Evangelism Conference is close enough to their area that they can all attend together,” said Don Lum, the conference’s coordinator and director of evangelism for the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board (MBCB) in Jackson. Lum pointed out that the annual State Evangelism Conference rotates among the various sections of the state, and it will probably be a while before central Mississippi churches again have this opportunity. “Bring your whole church family to worship in this special setting,” he said. “The State Evangelism Conference is really an unrivaled worship and fellowship experience. It’s not just for pastors. This conference is for all Mississippi Baptists. Many lay people come to the conference every year, and go back to their local churches inspired and prepared to win people to the Lord,” Lum said. The Jan. 25 session begins at 6 p.m. The morning session on Jan. 26 begins at 9:15 a.m. The Jan. 26 afternoon session begins at 1:30 p.m. The Jan. 26 evening session begins at 6:15 p.m. A complimentary dinner is being provided by Brandon Church for conference attendees, from 4:30-6 p.m. on Jan. 26. “Even if you’re just getting off work that day, come enjoy the meal and evening session with us,” Lum said. Scheduled speakers include: • Phil Hoskins, evangelist and pastor of Higher Ground Church in Kingsport, Tn. He will speak on Jan.25 at the 6 p.m. worship service and at 9:40 a.m. on January 26. • Jonathan Falwell, senior pastor of Thomas Road Church in Lynchburg, Va. He will speak at 10:40 a.m. on Jan 26. • Junior Hill, evangelist and president of Junior Hill Ministries in Hartselle, Al.
