Shepherd's Conference 2005

We are anticipating our upcoming Shepherds' Conference (September 8-11) with John MacArthur, John Glass, Steve Fernandez and Doug McMasters. All of them, as well as the faculty of the European Bible Training Centre will focus on the centrality of God's Word in preaching. Many of the men we will be hosting will be here for the first time. Please pray with us that this will be a time of strengthening and encouragement. Our sessions will be translated from English into German and Russian. We are expecting to nearly double the size of the conference from last year, with participants from Switzerland, Romania, Poland, Spain, Germany and as far away as Paraguay.

Please pray for the technical aspects of the conference, since John MacArthur will be with us over video conference. Also please pray for all of the hosting families since more than half of the group will be in private homes.

Just a few weeks after the conference, we will start with our 5th year of the EBTC! Our Preachers' Institute class has the 15 students which is what we have prayed for. We are now praying for more students for the first year Bible Survey class, which also starts in October.

We are excited to present to you a different look at the ministry of the European Bible Training Centre! With the help of a friend, Shannon Halliday, we were able to complete a video clip for the promotion of the EBTC-Berlin.
