Pastor Bissett will be attending the annual East Coast Ministers’ Conference sponsored by The Banner of Truth Trust. It is again being held on the campous of Elizabethtown College, in PA. PDB has been attending for well over 30 years, and values it immensely as a time for spiritual refreshment and spiritual growth.

The theme of this years conference is Revival —

It is a word that has been on the lips and minds of many over the last couple of years. Claims of a ‘quiet revival’ of Christianity taking place in North America have appeared in the Christian and secular press. There is some evidence that young men in appear to be more curious and receptive to the church in contrast to the entrenched apathy that we have wearily come to expect. Perhaps some of us have first-hand experience of this phenomenon in our own settings.

Yet revival, in a biblical sense, is not a mere resurgence of interest in religion, nor an increase in intellectual curiosity, encouraging as these things might be. It is essential that spiritual transformation on a personal and collective level remains central to any thinking about true revival of religion—it is this that has defined revivals of the past and will mark out any true movement of the Spirit in our own and future days.

Please pray for the 250-300 men as they travel to, and attend, the conference.
