Biola UniversityOur co-directors, Rick and Tim, just returned from a conference at Bethel Church in Pasco, WA and the way the Spirit moved was incredible! They held a training session for the pastors, preached on Sunday morning, and then held a Winsome Conviction conference for the congregation in the afternoon with over 500 people in attendance. When the group debriefed at the end of the conference, one woman shared that this “was the first time in over a year that the topic at hand didn’t freak me out. It felt very trusting and respectful—it was lovely.” Another man said that he and his mom disagreed on most things, but with much emotion in his voice, he said “tonight was the first time I really listened to her perspective on the topics.” The mom — clearly moved — hugged and kissed him on the cheek. And the crowd erupted into applause.
