| | | Family Conferences are eagerly anticipated by thousands for the rich fellowship, powerful messages, and hands-on experiences they bring. This year will be no exception! Inspiring speakers will give practical teaching from the Word of God. Action-packed activities will be used to illustrate life lessons that young people and children will remember long afterwards. Special break-out sessions will be held to encourage fathers to be the spiritual leaders of their homes while other workshops will support mothers who are seeking to fulfill their callings. We will again offer special break-out sessions for pastors, single parents, and young couples. A new opportunity is scheduled for the Saturday following the conference: a special morning session in which we will glean wisdom from experienced homeschooling parents.
This year the theme for the conferences is “Walking in the Light.” God’s Word abounds with teaching on light! In the beginning, God said, “Let there be light.” In our present culture there is a definite agenda to reject the light and silence those who bring the message of light. Jesus emphasized the urgency of His mission when He stated, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4). As Christ’s followers, we are described as “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14). The best way to walk in the light is to allow God’s Word to be a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path.
Many families around the world long for spiritual fellowship. Enriching fellowship happens when we humble ourselves and walk in the light. We are commanded to walk as children of light. Scripture states that “if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (I John 1:7).
