What People Say ...

For several years, the Holiness Conference has encouraged my faith and impacted my life for revival in many significant ways.  Before ever attending one of them, I thought of the meeting as a helpful conference about maintaining high standards in our lives and our churches.  But the first year I came, I was surprised and thrilled to find that the emphasis was on revival.  That year, I called my wife at home after the first session and said, “Honey, this is Northfield!”  Of course I was referring to the conference Mr. Moody held every year for Christian workers at which the truths about the ministry of the Spirit that bring Christians into revival were taught.  And this is the kind of meeting the Holiness Conference has become.  Plain Bible teaching, beautiful hymn singing, and earnest revival praying make this gathering both unusual and powerful.  Now that I am engaged in itinerant ministry, I am always recommending preachers to attend the Holiness Conference, and I certainly make that recommendation to anyone who reads this paragraph.
