My favorite conference is the annual Sovereign Grace Churches Pastors & Wives Conference. It’s my favorite because of the rich fellowship we enjoy, the soul-strengthening preaching we receive, and the faith-stirring updates we hear about what God is doing in our small family of churches around the world. Therefore, you can imagine my disappointment when the Leadership Team and I made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020 conference because of the global pandemic. And you can also imagine my excitement when we made the decision to have a Pastors & Wives Livestream Event on November 11, 2020. A livestream can never replace a conference, but it seemed to be a timely encouragement for the pastors and wives in Sovereign Grace and the guests we had invited to join us.
During our livestream, I asked Dave Taylor, our Director of Emerging Nations, to give an update on what God is doing through our small family of churches around the world. Because Dave’s update was so exciting and faith-building, we wanted you to be able to watch it. Therefore, we produced a video that captures Dave’s “Global Update” given during our livestream event. You can watch the video below.
I hope this video encourages you as it did me. I’m humbled by all that God is doing in our small denomination throughout the world. It is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes!
