Gospel Light for Global Darkness


Last week I was able to attend the annual convention of the Eastern Regional Association held in Peabody, MA. After 2 days of Board meetings in which I was involved, the convention kicked off on Thursday evening with a message from Dr. John Roller from North Carolina. Friday and Saturday were filled with business sessions and challenging messages. I had the chance to hear from Dr. Ron Thomas, Executive Dircetor of the Advent Christian General Conference; a medical missionary from Africa; and Rev. Russell Carle, Director of the Advent Christian mission work in Africa and Europe. The meals were nourishing and enjoyable, the worship enriching, the preaching inspiring, and the fellowship sweet. This gathering always gives me the chance to catch up with people I don't see often enough, and I am grateful to God I was able to attend.

Here are some pictures taken during the convention. You may recognize some of those in the pictures. If not, you will find labels at the end of this post which will identify the pictures.
