Dear Pastor Friends:

Well, it's that time of year again.  For 34 years now we have been hosting a conference on Soul-Winning and Revival.  The dates of the conference are November 9-10, 2009.  I am excited about the preachers coming and I know they will be a blessing and a challenge to you.  This year, the theme of the conference will be "The Generation to Come."

Here is a listing of the speakers:

Dr. Jon Jenkins, has done an amazing work in small-town northern Michigan to build a strong soul-winning church and college.  He is a greatly used conference speaker and a strong preacher of the Word.

Dr. Bob Wall is the new pastor of FaithWay Baptist Church in Ajax.  While pastoring in Fostoria, Michigan, he led the church through a couple of building programs, built a strong congregation and a thriving missions program.  You will appreciate his insights in his Bible preaching.

In September of 2007, Dr. Rick Flanders began traveling full time in itinerant evangelistic work, with a special desire to preach about concepts of revival.  His clear messages are a great help to many in seeking God’s reviving presence in their lives and churches.

Dr. Earl Jessup, has done more for church planting, in our Independent Baptist circles than anyone else I know.  His preaching will challenge your thinking.  He has been used of the Lord to help local churches start over 105 churches.

Then, this year we have a very special musical presentation planned.  I know it is something that will move and bless you.

Plan on bringing your wife as we have a special gift ready for her.  There will be a ladies luncheon and a special lady speaker.  Your wife needs to get away just like you do.

 For places to stay: The Days Inn (60 Bryne Dr., 705-733-8989), The Comfort Inn (210 Essa Rd, 705-721-1122), and the Hampton Inn & Suites (74 Bryne Drive, 705-719-9666) are all within walking distance of the church.

We plan this conference to be a blessing to the preacher and his people.  We put a lot into it so that you can get a lot out of it.  Some people plan their vacations each year to be here for this conference.  I'll look forward to seeing and fellowshipping with many of you during the conference.

Pastor LeRoy A. Pennell
