Next gen leader answers 4 key questions at MS evangelism conference

More than 30 people committed their lives to Christ during the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board state evangelism conference, Jan. 28–29 at Northcrest Baptist Church, Meridian, Mississippi.

Featured speakers at the annual event included Shane Pruitt, North American Mission Board; Ron Meeks, Blue Mountain Christian University; Jamie Dew, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary; Tom Richter, First Baptist Church, Cullman, Alabama; and evangelists Bob Pitman and Sammy Gilbreath.

4 questions

Pruitt, NAMB’s national next gen director, spoke from Gen. 1–3 using the theme, “Tell Me the Truth,” answering four questions: “Where did I come from?” “Why am I here?” “What is wrong with me?” and “What is the solution?”

“Your heart was created to be full of passion for the Lord,” Pruitt said. “Your hands were created to serve the Lord. Your knees were created to bow before the King of kings and the Lord of all lords. Your feet were created to follow the Lord. You exist for the Lord, and you always feel something is missing in your life as long as Someone is missing.”
