15 Free Books from the Shepherd’s Conference

Last week I had the privilege of attending John MacArthur’s Shepherd’s Conference at Grace Community Church in Van Nuys, California. It was a valuable time of encouragement and fellowship.

Since we live 80% of the time in Ukraine I only get the opportunity to attend these kinds of conferences about once every four years. As far as I can remember the last time I was at the Shepherd’s conference was around 2001 so it had been awhile!

What impressed me

I was impressed by the high level of organization. Everything seemed to go smoothly, even when the power went out while John MacArthur was preaching! He just kept right on preaching in the dark!

There were over 700 volunteers who served us, it was obvious that those who served us did it out of their love for Jesus.  Some how they managed to feed breakfast, lunch and snacks to over 4,000 attendees each day! They even had a free shoe shine service that I took advantage of.

What encouraged me

I was encouraged by the key note speakers dedication to preaching and teaching that comes straight from God’s  Word.

In particular I was blessed by Albert Mohler who spoke on Thursday evening concerning the importance of communicating the effects of sin and wrath of God as a vital part of the Gospel.

What blessed me

Ironically the greatest blessing of the Shepherd’s Conference didn’t have anything to do with the key note speakers and seminar sessions!

The best part of the conference was the fellowship!

Attending the conference with me were 3 leaders from our church in Odessa and one from our sister church in Odessa!

Over the few days I was there I’m sure that I spoke more Russian than I did English! In all there were about 40 participants from Ukraine.

I even met two young men from Perm, Russia whose church planted the church we worked with last summer!

15 Free books!

Each participant received a whole bag of great books and I’m giving all my books away!

I’m not giving them away because I don’t want to read them, I’m giving them away because I ended up with two copies of every book thanks to one of the pastors from our church in Ukraine who gave me all his books since he doesn’t read English and didn’t have room to take them home on the plane anyway.
