Resurrection at Big Tree

Our new church plant hosted its first Resurrection conference from March 29th - March 31st. It was a wonderful time of teaching and preaching focused on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Gospel, and the Sacrificial Lamb of God given to take away the sin of the world. Two others churches traveled to the Chinundu area to be a part of the conference. In all, I believe the total attendance was somewhere in the 80-90 range. 

I believe the Lord was glorified as messages were preached and all of our hearts were challenged. I know of many that want to be taught more and really feel the conference helped them grow in their spiritual understanding. Also, know of at least one that realized she truly is not a Christian and is need of the Saviour! Please continue to pray for this new work... our next step is to begin the process of leadership development! We praise the Lord for the work that He is doing and ask you continue to pray for God's direction and wisdom at "Big Tree" Baptist Church!

1 Corinthians 15:3-4  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Matthew 28:6-8  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
