My wife and I are here in Birmingham where a conference will start in a few hours with David Wilkerson and his son Gary. My prayer is that God will be glorified and he will send people out that will preach the Gospel with boldness.Praise God!! I was just speaking to a brother that is going to that conference also. His name is Robbie hes a student at FSU college in Florida, if the Lord leads you to him that would be awesome. Hes a great brother and needs fellowship with the saints. I pray that conference is living changing for all who attend.
Grace and Peace --I live in Birmingham. Unfortunately, between work and studies I won't be able to make it to the conference. Please post some updates about the conference and let us know what is going on.Blessings!Jason
Hey Ed,We missed you too Brother, hope you had a good vacation and that this event is truely an event!

Wow, God is so good. It's been a very powerful day. We've had four sermons and the Holy Ghost has been moving in our hearts. My hope and prayer is that many of the pastors who have been discouraged will preach the word of God with boldness. Here is a quick summary of the sermons.Sermon 1: Running the Right Race by Brother DaveSermon 2: The Fourth Tabernacle by Brother DaveSermon 3: The Cross Center Church by Brother GarySermon 4: Called of God (This is my name). Very convicting sermon. Powerful.)Sermon 5: History and Future of the World by Brother Gary3 sermons tomorrow before the flight. Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray that the name of Jesus will be glorified. There is an open service tomorrow night and I want to encourage you to pray for the lost in this area.Praise God and the might name of Jesus. He reigns my friends. He reigns!! I miss you all. God knows all things and this came at just the right time for my wife and I. God is so good.God bless you all!Ed
3 sermons tomorrow before the flight. Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray that the name of Jesus will be glorified. There is an open service tomorrow night and I want to encourage you to pray for the lost in this area.Praise God yes I hope people are lifting up this conference in prayer. Lives will be changed and God will be glorified. How awesome it is that many people are coming even that know about or are on SI. God is creating a holy hunger in a remenant. Thank you so much for the update brother, it sounds awesome.
Yes, there are a lot of people being introduced to SI through this conference. It's awesome. I'm on a public computer so I'll be brief.Tonight's service is at 7:00 p.m. at the Boutwell Auditorium and there is also a service for the youth tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. at the Concert Hall which is part of the convention center. Brother Dave's grandson will be preaching.If anyone would like copies of the messages, I should have them by mid-wife. Drop me a line and I'll burn them for them. God bless you all.Praise Jesus Christ, our life!
I would love to be there! Praying that the Holy Spirit does some mighty work for all who are there.- and praying for your safe trip.In Him, Chanin
Yes, there are a lot of people being introduced to SI through this conference. It's awesome. I'm on a public computer so I'll be brief.I just got a call this morning from 2 friends that are at the conference, Jason and Robbie from florida. They said quite a few people knew about the site! praise God and they even met Chad S. from the site. They way the Holy Spirit is moving is tremendous from what I heard, its a building upon each sermon.
Hey, it's a mini- SermonIndex convention!That's great, hopefully we will get some reports back from them,... ;-)
There was a true move of God in Birmingham. You could see the despair among many folks there and God lifted up a lot of people who were on their last legs, so to speak. I've never seen so many people hungry for Jesus at one place. That alone was worth going.I'm praying that some folks will join and contribute to SI. After having spend a lot of time with some pastors from various places, I have a better feel of the difficulties in the ministry. It's easy to forget that's it's all about Jesus. It's easy to lose that focus even if you're not a minister.As for me spiritually, God encouraged me so much. I've been in a such a dry place spiritually and I was just overwhelmed by the presence of God. Brother Dave gave a very short talk (less than 25 minutes), which was a synposis on unbelief. If the Holy Spirit has shown you this is an issue you need to deal with, you need to hear this.We played it back on the way back from the airport and suffice it to say we couldn't speak. That's how it was today as well.It's so encouraging to see that there are those who are willing not to compromise, preach the word of God with power and authority in love, and endure. I was encouraged, as were many others.To God be the glory!Ed
