EXPAND YOUR VISION WEEKEND (February 12-14, 2004)
(A Seminar Review by Virginia H. Lane) The EYV "Weekend" was fantastic. While the General Theme was encouraging people to attend CBC next year, the messages were uplifting for everyone's walk in life. The sessions were by: Wayne Knurr--He decided to treat the guests to a typical class session. He surveyed I Thessalonians. I sure hope he doesn't include this on the next test in New Testament survey. Don Krow --His powerful presentation showed us that Christ called people to be disciples and to disciple others rather than our commission being to "convert" people to Christianity. Andrew Wommack --Andrew's theme was hearing from and listening to God and obeying His instructions. The main example was Elijah who was told by God to phropesy to King Ahab of Israel about a drought. The King attempted to break the dry cycle by having his holy men pray. Elijah called fire down from heaven to consume a sacrifice. Elijah spent the remainder of the day killing Ahab's false prophets. Then he commanded rain to come to the land. Elijah was scared of Queen Jezebel and fled for his life. This action ended the revival (turning to God) that was started that day when Elijah proved that his God was greater than all other gods. If Elijah had trusted God to keep him safe from Jezebel, the story could have turned out so very differently. During the portion of his life given in the Bible, there were examples of when Elijah obeyed and disobeyed God--and even acted on his own. Elijah's actions as a prophet and Man of God affected the destiny of the nation of Israel. Lessons from Elijah can be both listened to (audio) and/or read on the AWMI website in the teachings section. The articles cover the contents of the 3 tape album whereas the audio is only the first tape of the series. What are you doing here Elijah? is another title which might be of interest. If you would like to see what tapes are available through AWMI, the products catalog can be viewed online. Linus LeFever--Linus used the time allocated to him to tell more about CBC . He called upon various students to tell 1) why the decided to come to CBC and 2) how their lives have changed because of the CBC teachings. It was interesting to hear highlights of Charlie and Pam King's mission trip to Africa. Friday at 1:00 pm, the conference attendees were invited to Lunch with the Faculty and Students in the Garden Room of the Sheraton. The full-time faculty and adjunct professors were introduced. Several students gave testimonies. Mary Jo Mast was asked to give a special testimony on what it is like to be a stay at home Mom with five children while her husband attends school. On Saturday morning, Mark and I were table hosts for the Brunch. After eating, we were encouraged to attend the separate men's and women's meetings. Linus LeFever spoke to the men. Several men gave testimonies of how CBC had changed their lives. Mark received a compliment. Tim Eastwell said that three men had made an impact on him. He said that Mark hugged and encouraged him in his spiritual walk. Kay LeFever gave the women things to consider when following their husbands into ministry. This often means breaking up the "nest;" women need to be able to feel stable and secure in their home. She told of their move to Russia to start a Bible School; it was difficult to leave their 18 year old son behind in Nebraska. The evening sessions were started by Praise and Worship music led by Jan Knurr and a band made up of CBC students and alumni. The whole conference has been uplifting. The best part has been talking to people. I was having a rough time last February when we went to EYV. It meant a lot to us to meet the students. Our friends Dorcas and Doyle Payne prayed with us and encouraged us. return to February/March 2004 Newsletter return to Bolzern.Org Home Page
