PREPARING THE WAY OF THE LORD
During this past year we have been encouraged to enter into spiritual reality through spiritual exercise. It is imperative that we take up
our spiritual responsibility, not just understand it, but take it up and enter into it.
Before the first coming of the Lord, He raised up John the Baptist as an epoch making vessel, a vessel to
prepare His way. The King was coming. The ages were changing from the age of Law to the age of Grace. Once
again the Lord is looking for an epoch making vessel to prepare the way for His second coming and to bring in
the Kingdom Age. This Way is revealed in the revelation given to Peter as recorded in
Matthew 16:13-19.
Peter's confession: "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God"
Christ's response: "Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
This theme will be shared in three parts:
The Way of Christ (Lance Lambert)
The Way of the Church (Dana Congdon)
The Way of Conflict (Stephen Kaung)
The sessions for high school age teens will be coordinated by brethren
from Houston, TX. The children's ministry this year
will focus on the Life of John the Baptist.
Conference Information
The conference will be held at Longwood University in Farmville Virginia. Farmville is a small
town about 1 hour southwest of Richmond. The closest airport to Farmville is the
Richmond International Airport (RIC).
A campus map of Longwood University can be found here. Longwood has
graciously made many facilities
available to the conference including classrooms, recreational facilities, sports fields, dormitory space
and meeting rooms. A central walkway (or spine) runs the length of the campus and most of the buildings are
organized around that spine. The central spine contains several fountains including a walk-through/play-in fountain.
The ministry meetings will be held in Jarman Hall (Building 14). The dormitories
used by the conference are Curry (Building 41), Wheeler (Building 17), and ARC Residence Hall (Building 33). Meals will be served in Dorrill Dining Hall (Building 28).
