I hope that you are as excited as we are as the Witness Team in Holston Conference. We will soon know what the totals are for Baptisms in Holston Conference for 2010 and I can’t wait to gather and share this information with you. It is going to be a year to Celebrate.

All over the Holston Conference I have heard from Laity and Pastors alike who say this has been one of their best years for Evangelism in a long time. This in itself is worth Celebrating.

The Witness Team has put together another Exciting Conference and soon you will be able to Register yourself and those from your church who would like to attend. I am encouraging every church to participate this year. I believe this will be the best year ever for Baptisms and Professions of Faith in Holston’s History. I know that it can be, it depends on you and me putting into practice what Jesus left us here to do, “Go and make Disciples.” We need to pray but we need to work. Our prayers combined with our labor will produce great results, given by The Holy Spirit.

Mark your calendars if you haven’t already, April 1st and 2nd, 2011
