LADIES CONFERENCE IN MULTAN
Over 200 women traveled to Multan for the 15th Annual Ladies Conference. Former speakers were invited back to speak from the previous year. My friend Elsie gave one of the messages in the morning and Kurt Jarvis, INCM board member, was asked to speak each evening as well. Victoria Lal Din and her committee did a great job of organizing the conference. They were faced with feeding more people then was expected on Sunday but managed. In one of the sessions I taught the women how to make bookmarks. A lady from my church and ladies from Virginia gave me the material to use. Some women were very creative! I was able to give 3 women additional bookmark materials to use for the women who could not attend. These women are sharing the blessing from God's Word I heard and teaching women how to make a bookmark. Elsie and I were encouraged to meet former nurses who came for the conference and to hear how they were walking with the Lord and teaching their families.
SUNDAY MORNING FINAL SERVICE
The final service Sunday morning brought about 500 people and 200 children from 5 different Brethren Assemblies. Kurt told the story of Joseph and applied his story to our lives. The service ended at the pool as I assisted Kurt in baptizing 35 women, then he alone baptized 12 men. My purpose in assisting Kurt was to help women who had never gone into a pool. They went into the pool frightened but came up from the water praising the Lord. Weeks before the baptism the women and men were counseled in how to write their testimonies. God blessed lives during this conference. Praise the Lord for a profitable ministry trip!
