2TIM42: The Shepherds' Conference

11 March 2011

The Shepherds' Conference

So the second day of The Shepherds' Conference is done. What a fantastic time of preaching, worship, and fellowship! It has been an especially good networking time as we've been able to plan for future ministry opportunities at The Shepherd's Bible College and Impact Bible Conference.

Eight Kiwis are in attendance at the conference. Here's some of Team New Zealand. . .

At the first session, The Master's Seminary student body formed a choir and sang to the Lord wonderfully. Here they are seated in the choir loft at Grace Community Church. . .

This afternoon, we were able to spend a few moments with John MacArthur. . .

Our visit to Los Angeles allows us to nail down speakers for future conferences in New Zealand, secure resources for Impact, report to TSBC supporters, present the ministry to potential new supporters, elicit new prayer partners, and learn from like-minded faculty members in other TMAI institutes from around the world. It has been a very profitable time. Please continue to pray for us.
