You are invited to attend the SBTC Annual Meeting in Corpus Christi Nov. 15-16. You probably have more places to go than you can get to. I encourage you to make this brief time investment. Let me give you some reasons to make the trip.
Celebration
You will hear testimonies of people who had their lives changed through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. SBTC Disaster Relief volunteers lead hundreds to Christ while providing emotional and physical assistance. Funded church starts in under-evangelized areas in Texas reach those who are going unreached.
Student evangelism teams in zero-baptism churches are used by God to bring new believers into the Kingdom. There are more points of celebration you will experience as we come together.
Information
With the website, the TEXAN and personal contact from SBTC staff, exciting news is communicated regularly. Over 100 ministries are coordinated and resourced through the SBTC. You could hear of a ministry that would benefit your church and bless others.
Two Southern Baptist Convention leaders will make their first SBTC Annual Meeting. Frank Page, president and CEO of the SBC Executive Committee, and Kevin Ezell, president of the North American Mission Board, will both address our gathering. These men will help guide us into the future as we partner together. Come hear their vision!
Motivation
Nothing stirs me like hearing the Word of God preached in power. Music ministers to my heart. Prayer brings me before the Lord. The spiritual element at the annual meeting of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention has always been the emphasis. Our Lord speaks to our hearts more clearly when we set aside time to hear from Him. You will not be disappointed when you attend the SBTC. Jesus will be exalted.
A NAMB missionary commissioning service highlights our annual meeting on Tuesday night. Seeing those who are willing to go anywhere to tell anyone about Jesus challenges me to be a better witness. The stories of the missionaries will raise the expectations in our own lives. When we leave Corpus Christi, God wants us to have a deeper passion for those who need Christ.
Fellowship
The SBTC is like a family gathering. It is a reunion of brothers and sisters in Christ. You will be encouraged by visiting with friends you have not seen since last year. You will be blessed by being with others who share your theological convictions. We have one heart for Reaching Texas and Touching the World. You will bless me by being in Corpus. We need one another.
I am excited about what God is about to do. We hear a lot of bad news. There are definitely concerns, but I believe that our future is greater than ever before. My optimism is not based only on the fact that Jesus is coming again. God has not changed. He wants to move in our lives. We can see Him show Himself mighty in our families, churches, the SBTC and the Southern Baptist Convention if we will pray and listen. Join me where we will be “Praying and Listening” in Corpus Christi.
