MOORE—On Mon. and Tue., Jan. 27-28, Oklahoma Baptists will gather at Moore, First for the 2014 Oklahoma State Evangelism Conference. From Scripture to strategy sessions, attendees will be equipped to take the Gospel to every part of Oklahoma.

Tim Gentry, Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma (BGCO) Evangelism specialist, expects a power-packed event.

“Ecclesiastes 3:1 says ‘there is a time and season for everything.’ I have heard many times about the gathering of eagles at the 1992 State Evangelism Conference,” he said.

“This was a gathering of great preachers and evangelists like W. A. Criswell, Roy Fish, Angel Martinez and J. Harold Smith.

“I believe this year is the time and season to hear what God is doing across Oklahoma and to hear what God has put on the heart of Oklahoma pastors. We are gathering the eagles again and will hear from the pacesetters in evangelism from right here in Oklahoma,” said Gentry.

Each speaker at the SEC is an Oklahoma pastor. There is no cost to attend  the SEC.

“Come hear and experience what God is doing as we all renew our commitment to reach Oklahoma with the Gospel,” added Gentry.

The Oklahoma Conference of Southern Baptist Evangelist (OCOSBE) will kick off the 2014 State Evangelism Conference on Monday morning, Jan. 27 at Moore, First.

 

Complementing the theme of the theme of the State Evangelism Conference, “Oklahoma, My Place to Serve” the theme of OCOSBE will be “Co-laboring with Pastors and Churches to Reach our Judea, Oklahoma for Christ,” which is based on Acts 1:8.

“The purpose of the opening session is to magnify and lift up the mighty name of Jesus and to motivate OCOSBE and our Southern Baptist Churches to reach Oklahoma for Christ,” said Charlie Keim, who is serving as OBOSBE president.

Presenting and leading the music at the OCPOSBE event will be Craig Stuke, Sandy Stacy, Bobby and Jeannette Smith, Becky Wright, Rusty Vineyard, the Senior Choir and YoYo Collins. Delivering the sermon messages will be Jim Burkett, Marty Brock, Steve Mowery and Craig Hobbs.
