Moderator’s Address Caps Wednesday at Equip
Posted by Liz Cutler Gates on July 29, 2009
Another day at Equip 09, the annual conference of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches, being held this week at the Grace Brethren Church of Columbus, Ohio.
Today’s sessions included free seminars for women, as Women of Grace USA sponsored workshops on topics such as missions, finances and women, and coaching others in ministry. Dinner this afternoon was sponsored by the Grace Brethren Investment Foundation, who sponsors the Eagle Commission, the organization that gives visibility to the Grace Brethren military chaplains around the world. The conference heard testimonies from chaplains who were present, including Mark and Robin Penfold, Jeff Wirick, and David and Whitney Mvondo, and some via recording.
The day was capped by the moderator’s address. Tom Hocking, the incoming moderator for the FGBC and pastor of the Bellflower (Calif.) Brethren Church, challenged the conference to make disciples, radiate obedience, and redemptively serve the nations together.
The concluding event of the evening, the young adult gathering known as Driven, saw young leaders in the fellowship gathering to discuss how to best reach their generation for Christ.
