Men's Conference, February 7–9
Gil Bates, Peter Magnuson, and others plan to join us February 7–9, 2019, in Oak Brook, Illinois, for a men’s conference. The messages shared will inspire and encourage men in their walk with the Lord, in being leaders at home, and in serving Christ. The close proximity to both major Chicago airports makes this destination very convenient for travel to the Midwest. With this weekend conference occurring toward the beginning of the year, hopefully men will begin 2019 with a great start in being all they can be for the Lord and in advancing His Kingdom.

In Memory of John Philip Garvin 
John Philip Garvin was born in Elyria, Ohio, March 18, 1928, the son of a Baptist minister. Mr. Garvin was eight years old when he asked Jesus Christ to come into his heart to be his Savior and Lord. Phil joined the ministry of Institute in Basic Life Principles in 1969, and served in various capacities for over forty-five years. The job title that he was most noted for was an unofficial one—“soul winner.” Phil was always ready to share the gospel with sales people, truck drivers, or repairmen who were visiting the Institute. On Sunday afternoon, November 4th, our Lord brought Phil home to Glory. God only knows, and now Phil does, how many souls were brought into the Kingdom through his faithful witness. Read more . . .

We believe that you will enjoy hearing these speakers and their practical teaching from God's Word. Learn more . . .
"Wagonloads of Blessings"
This year’s Family Camp took place during a record-setting rainy spell in East Texas. Despite the cold, rainy days, the families enjoyed fellowship with each other. The Family Camp staff became very creative as they sought to move Family Camp indoors. A makeshift indoor coral was created so that Dr. Sterrett could continue his sessions in a dry location. Some of the special events were moved into the large Convention Center, where attendees participated in 9-square, carpet ball, corn hole, balance beams, jump rope, and other games. Even the canoe races were moved inside! The one dry day in the middle of the week was welcomed and enjoyed by all. Read more . . .
