It’s a time of great uncertainty juxtaposed by a time of great harvest. While the world struggles with unrest, inflation, and war, we see spiritual hunger rising all across our nation. In a post-pandemic world, people are searching for truth. And despite seasons of difficulty, ministries everywhere are meeting the challenge of shepherding God’s harvest of souls.
Paul saw similar times during his ministry to the Thessalonians. The church was young, but hunger was great. There was opposition, persecution, and false teaching to contend with, but Paul encouraged the church at Thessalonica to press forward:
“God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”
The phrase “just as you are doing” is significant for this season. In a world where everything seems uncertain, let us remember the timeless certainty of edification in the Lord. God is calling us to continue building each other up so that we can continue the work He started in us and our ministries.
I want to personally invite you to join us at The Fellowship Conference in Sarasota, Florida, on July 11-13, 2023. It will be a time of great edification as we hear from some fantastic speakers, be refreshed in powerful times of worship, and build each other up through the power of fellowship.
If you feel discouraged in ministry or life, come to The Fellowship Conference! You will find encouragement and edification to help you continue in your calling.
If you are feeling fresh and on-fire for the Lord like never before, come to The Fellowship Conference! Your energy and encouragement may be the answer to prayer for one of your colleagues in ministry.
Registration is open, and hotel rooms are still available at a discounted rate. Please come to Sarasota to give and receive edification during these critically-important days.
