Local church to discuss healing, faith at weekend conference
March 25, 2004
The River of Life Christian Church will hold a conference for prayer and worship this weekend at the Holmes Student Center.
“Blow the Trumpet in Zion” is a gathering for people interested in praying and listening to speakers talk about faith and healing, conference organizer Mark Wainwright said.
The event will feature prophetic ministry teams offering personal prophecies to those interested.
Prophetic worship involves experiencing church while opening oneself up to God, Wainwright said.
“In the Bible, God had spoken of a time when he would re-establish the Tabernacle of David,” he said. “In this conference, we would be coming together in response to what God had spoken and is planning on doing.”
Among the speakers is a representative of the Mount Carmel church in northern Israel, located where the prophet Elijah called down fire from the heavens in the Bible, Wainwright said.
A youth rally will be held from 6 to 11 p.m. today at the Holmes Student Center’s Diversions Lounge. The conference will go Friday through Sunday at the student center’s Carl Sandburg Auditorium.
Friday’s conference begins at 7 p.m., while weekend conferences begin at 8:30 a.m. Admission is $15 for those 18 and older; $10 for those ages 13 to 17; and $5 for those 12 and under.
