Breakout Descriptions

Southern Baptist Convention Update

Dr. Willie McLaurin

The Southern Baptist Convention is dealing with multiple challenges. It’s hard to know what is real and what isn’t. Dr. McLaurin will talk about these challenges and tell you how the SBC Executive Committee and other SBC leaders are addressing them. He’ll also provide clarity about some of the rumors and accusations that show up in social media. Come hear the latest developments about how Southern Baptists are responding to our current challenges and opportunities to bring the gospel to the world. This is a great opportunity to get your questions answered.

Pastors' Wives Event

Denise Duke

Being a pastor’s wife is challenging. Too often, pastors’ wives carry great burdens for their husbands, their children, their churches, and their own personal needs. Denise Duke will bring the comfort of God’s word to your challenges and give you a place to speak freely and to share with other pastors’ wives how you manage to thrive in your unique situation. You will be encouraged and challenged to walk close to God for daily victory in the face of your challenges.

Evangelism in the Mission Field

Chris Armstrong

Sharing the gospel cross-culturally in an effective way adds another layer of complexity to our calling to take the good news to all the earth. Our very own Chris Armstrong will talk about his ministry among the Mixtec people of Mexico and what he has found to be helpful tools in sharing the gospel with people of other cultures. Montana is changing so quickly that many of us find ourselves in cross-cultural settings in our own communities. Chris’s description of how he shares the gospel in Mexico will have immediate application for us in many settings right here in Montana.
