Fall Discipleship Conference 2008

I have had the wonderful privilege of attending USC Christian Challenge Fall Conference this weekend. First of all Max Barnett was the speaker. He has been a disciple maker and I am sure a great blessing to the students at Oklahoma University for many years. I think he is now the of the Christian Challenges in Colorado but I'm not to sure on that. All I can say is boy does he have a testimony. Basically he shared with us three basic things. One, spend time to get to know God everyday. He mentioned that most of the time we seek God's hands and not his face. He shared that when he was in college he was single and that he had many dates with God and that it was in those dates where he really got to know Him. The way that he ministered in college was that he basically invited everyone to join him in getting to know God more by either sharing Christ with them or inviting them to a Bible study. I mean from what he said people would just follow join him. The second most important thing he did in college, was memorize God's word. I mean does this man know God's word, he really didn't use the Bible he just said verse after verse after verse. And not in a prideful way at all but one could see by the way that he spoke, God had really used all these passages of scripture in his life. The last thing he shared as followers of Christ we should all be discipleship makers. We are responsible to teach and do the things that Christ has command us to do. The thing I liked most about Max is that he just really encourage us to get to know God and share that with people and his life is a testimony to what he said.
Well Max was a blessing to hear but just going up to Big Bear was refreshing as well. First of all it got very chilly at night and one could see so many stars it was pretty amazing. Also to join the weather there is nothing like a nice cup of hot chocolate:). Oh and the USC college students are very interesting as well.It was encouraging to see how these students are really intention in their walks with God and are just wanting to make an impact in His kingdom. Lastly but not least I got to spend some time with Tie and Erin two amazing girls who are really intentional about their walks with God.
Oh for those of you who are interested you can hear Max,many other speaker's from the Baptist Student Union or just great men who have served God faithfully on this website called discipleshiplibrary.com. I highly recommend it there is topics just about anything.
