PCA's 2009 Mercy Ministries Conference

Who Is My Neighbor?  An expert in the law trying to justify himself asks Jesus who is my neighbor? Jesus replies in 8 very well known verses. If you know the answer or the verses themselves you may be interested in the PCA Mercy Conference March 12-14 2009 in Chattanooga, TN. The next practical question would be: How much do I really want to serve my neighbor? 
 
Although the cost is modest for this conference Redeemer Church will probably not be able to financially sponsor members to attend. The cost for 2 nights and 4 meals is $368. For 2 people sharing a room the cost is $259. PCACEP will start accepting registrations in December and I will let you know when they start.
 
This conference will feature 3 key note type presentations, fantastic music and about 20 workshops to pick from addressing various Mercy Ministry efforts, challenges and basic information on implementation.  Some of the workshops scheduled are: Adoption, Disability, English as a Second Language, Staff Volunteers, Benevolence, Community Outreach, and Community Peacemaking.
 
So if this challenges you heart at all meditate on it, pray for the means to attend, have others pray for your direction.  Mercy ministry is a heart issue. If you do not give a portion of your loving heart to it, your efforts will be dry and empty footsteps. Jesus can meet you in the eyes of your hurting neighbor.
 
Who is my neighbor?  See Luke 10:30-37. For more info on the conference see David or Sue Vial
