I hope you are able to Join the NCFIC at the Teach Them Diligently conference in Spartanburg, SC on Friday, April 4th. This is a gathering of church leaders for fellowship, prayer, and instruction. Joseph Dooley and Ben Gardner will be bringing a message on shepherding. They will gather at 11:30 for fellowship, with lunch beginning at noon. Then they will have a time for instruction, questions and answers, and prayer. The meeting will conclude at 2:30.
The focus of the time will be "Shepherding the Church of God." Various speakers will focus their instruction on this matter. There is so much blessing in local churches where shepherding is conducted in a biblical manner. Ezekiel 34 condemns selfish shepherds and explains the patterns of good shepherds, "I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing, and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing." Ezekiel 34:26
