God has a purpose for every church. There is much that He wants to do through each church. However, it has been our experience that God gives each church and its leaders “crossroads moments” in their history where they must make decisions based on faith if they are to continue to be used to fulfill the purposes God has in mind for them. It has also been our experience that the current health of any church is a summation of the decisions made over many years.

Featuring Richard Blackaby and Mark Clifton

Blackaby Ministries International (BMI), in partnership with the North American Mission Board, is excited to bring “REVIVE: Christ and His Church” to the Baptist Resource Network of PA/SJ! Dr. Richard Blackaby, author and president of Blackaby Ministries International, and Dr. Mark Clifton of NAMB’s Legacy Church Planting will unpack several significant truths from the “Flickering Lamps” and “Reclaiming the Glory” books as well as from their extensive ministry with pastors and churches.

The virtual conference will begin at 8:30 am and conclude at 12:30 pm.

The cost of $10 includes the two featured books.

Whether your church is experiencing positive spiritual health or finds itself struggling, it is vitally important to be oriented to the Headship of Christ. We encourage you to set aside time to attend the entire gathering in September, determined to park your heart before God, allowing Him to speak to you in fresh and transforming ways. Bring several of your key leaders as well so that together, you can experience God’s heart for you and your church!

Testimonies from precious conference attendees:

The overwhelming response from the pastors was that they felt that every pastor in our association needed to hear what Richard Blackaby and Mark Clifton had to share. The Biblical challenge delivered by Richard Blackaby was powerful! The practical insights from Mark Clifton pertaining to the “nuts and bolts” of church revitalization was extremely insightful. The message of the Revive Conference is one that needs to be delivered to the church in North America!

Revive, there couldn’t be a more perfect name for this one day conference. I came expecting to get some good information on how to revive my congregation, which I received, but I came away with so much more. I came away with my own soul being revived.

The main thing I brought back with me from the conference was hope.
