FBC Girls' Conference

Here it is! Finally! The first ever Girls' Conference at First Baptist Statesboro is this weekend! There have been countless hours put into planning, preparing, and practicing for this incredible weekend. My prayer since its inception in the fall has been that God will use this weekend to speak to the lives of teenage girls here in Bulloch county.

This weekend will be a time for girls to encounter God through worship, Bible Study and breakout sessions led by godly women in our community who have a deep passion for girls seeing themselves as God sees them. Did I mention that my beautiful wife is the keynote speaker, which I am pumped about because truth be told she is the better preacher in the family! The worship band will be amazing too!

This weekend is also going to give these young ladies an opportunity to encourage one another and learn from women who don't have all the answers but they are pursuing the very one who does. I think one of the things that impresses me most about this weekend is that church and denominational lines have been set aside not just among the attendees but among the folks teaching the breakout sessions too! A true picture of unity in the gospel this weekend, how cool!!

I certainly can't leave out the great volunteers who have put so much effort into this weekend, people like Kate Foil, Julie Lavender, Debbie Hagan, and Julie Anderson plus countless others. Better than that though is the way this idea originated among our 12th grade girls and the work that they have done to create this opportunity for young women to encounter God and grow in their relationship with him.

Saturday we are featuring a fashion show with http://www.nationsoutfitters.com/ that we are also really excited to share clothing that helps young adults focus on others and not themselves!

Be praying for this weekend...I know that God is ready to do some exceedingly, abundantly more than we could ever hope or imagine.
