The 2012 SBTC Empower Evangelism Conference is planned Feb. 27-29 at the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco. The theme, “I Am Not Ashamed,” is taken from Romans 1:14-17.
This year’s conference will feature many familiar names, from evangelists such as Junior Hill to pastors such as Florida’s Ted Traylor and Bob Pearle of Fort Worth, and denominational leaders such as International Mission Board President Tom Elliff.
Steve Scheibner, a former pastor and American Airlines pilot who runs a ministry called CharacterHealth.com, will share his story of God’s providence on 9/11. Musicians for the conference will include Charles Billingsley of Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Va., and Grammy-winning vocalist Larnelle Harris as well as Ernie Haase and Signature Sound. Praise teams from First Baptist Church of Odessa and Birchman Baptist in Fort Worth will also appear.
