WMBC Missions Conference

This past week was the 19th Annual Missions Conference at Warren Missionary Baptist Church in Warren, Michigan from October 8th-12th. Pastor Walter Jones had organized the meeting very well and thought of everything to make the stay for all families be a pleasant one. We met many new missionary families and there was a grand total of 17 in attendance throughout the conference! I won't take the time list all of them, but I will tell of one group we got to spend time with. Happiness Hill Chrisitan Homes is a ministry for girls in tough situations that need a place to simply escape from the world and grow closer to God. We spent a lot of time getting to know the girls and their staff. Saturday, after morning door knocking, Jason the kids and the Happiness Hill group was able to go to the Henry Ford Museum together and later our family and their group had dinner at the church. Evening devotions with them was such a sweet time of opening up God's Word together. Jason was able to share a challenge from Luke 16 about the "Certain Man". During our time with them, one of the young ladies expressed a strong interest in taking a missions trip to Hungary next June after she graduates. Our prayer is if it's a God's will for her to go, He'd work out all the details and keep doors open as she takes steps to prepare for the trip.

The services were held in the morning and evening, with rooms designated for homeschooling the children in the morning. At the beginning of each evening service, a flag parade led the missionaries in to introduce ourselves to the congregation. There was singing, missionary videos, and missionaries preaching during each service. The conference theme was from Job 14:15: "Thou Shalt Call And I Will Answer Thee". It was great to be in this missions minded church!
