White Harvest Conference: March 6, 2010

This day there were some Pastors and young men gathered in a building, and what did we hear?  We heard Pastors instructing these young men, eleven total, about the Gospel Ministry.  For myself, it was a good reminder of what I am called to.  Although, I know all the information this conference provided, it was still convicting and encouraging.  Why?  Because the root of this conference and each lecture was in God's Word.  

The schedule for the meeting was the following (Including breaks in between):

1. An Introduction of the attendees and Pastors
2. Session One: Rev. Dr. David Jussely on "The Call to the Gospel Ministry"
3. Session Two: Rev. Mark Smith on "The Work of the Gospel Minister"
4. Explanation of the Ordination Process
5. Session Three: Rev. Rob Hill on "The Piety of the Gospel Minister"
6. Season of Prayer

Each session was spot on for these predominately high school aged students.  Question and Answer times were held following each lecture and the young men seemed to be learning a great deal.  I am most certain that no one left feeling pressured to be called to the Gospel Ministry, but rather left with a greater understanding of and appreciation for Gospel Ministry.  Each young man also left with wisdom on how to proceed from this point, which I believe is answered in 1 Thessalonians 4:3 where we were reminded of as we closed, "For this is the will of God; your sanctification."

These audio lectures will hopefully be available online at a later date (hopefully soon).
