Body Building ManYou shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8)

Leading God’s people is a burden too heavy to carry alone. On October 27, 2008 the Montgomery Baptist Association, in partnership with the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware, has committed their resources to aid leaders in equipping the Church to join together in ministering and witnessing the way Christ commanded His people to do.

Bring your church staff and lay leaders to an evening filled with seminars designed to strengthen all aspects of your Church body.

3 Things You can Expect from the Body Building Conference:

Body Building Man #2

Encouragement - This conference will provide you with a sense that you are not fighting the battle alone. As Joshua prepared to enter the land of Canaan, the Lord instructed Moses to encourage him (Deut. 1:38). You will have the opportunity to hear many testimonies and insights for ministering and witnessing with joy and strength.

Knowledge - This conference will provide you with the best instructors in each field of study. Scripture tells us to: “get wisdom and understanding (Prov. 23:23). Yu will have the option to attend any one of the many and varied seminars (for pastors and staff in addition to afternoon session). These classes are packed with powerful information that will help equip your church for victorious service.

Confidence
- The conference also provides you the confidence needed in your area of interest. In 2 Cor. 5:6 the Christians were confident because of what they had learned. You can be confident that learning will not end in the classroom. Each seminar leader will give followup information so you can contact them in the future. You can be confident that your ministry and mission will be more like what Jesus intended.
