Church Convention Report

Spirit Liberia was honored to join with Full Gospel Apostolic Church in their convention December 31st through January 4th. This church is located in Kpoapa township in Nimba County just outside of Ganta. Pastor Richards, Brother Bestman and Brother Shad Flumo all taught at the convention. The theme of the convention "Forgetting those things which are behind" (Phillipians 3:10-14)
Topics of teaching included Christian Leadership, Christian Stewardship, Evangelism, and Family and Church Financial Management.
There were approximately 174 people in attendance. There were 40 people baptized including a 96 year old woman! I will probably do a few posts about this convention, a lot happened there and we have quite a few great pictures! Thanks Mark!
