Elder Stevens Texico Conference Report 2011

12 in 12!

Enjoy stories of how God is working in the lives of His people throughout our Conference!

We are excited to share a God inspired initiative planned for this year. It’s called "12 in 12." You might ask, “What does this mean?” In 2012 we have the opportunity to reach the 12,000 member mark in the Texico Conference. The top priority within our Conference continues to be reaching people for Jesus. We currently have 11,613 Seventh-day Adventist members in our West Texas and New Mexico territory. We praise God that in 2011, 443 became a part of our church family by baptism and profession of faith and 34 additional people were reported rebaptisms. What a blessing! Our great multicultural, diverse family is growing and is looking forward to the soon coming of Jesus.

In May we will partner with Southwestern Adventist University School of Theology in a evangelistic field school which will impact the entire city. For El Paso this will be our greatest year of soul winning. Then in September and October there will be the “West Texas for Jesus” evangelistic meetings taking place throughout the region. Our goal is to have an evangelistic meeting in each of our West Texas churches simultaneously. The Southwestern Union Conference will also be partnering with us in providing funding and speakers. Let’s begin praying for this event that the Holy Spirit will work mightily in preparing the hearts of those who will be attending that the seeds of truth will be implanted in fertile soil. As we work together this year, ask God what you can do to help bring souls to the saving knowledge of Christ. We need you to pray every day at 7 am for the outpouring of His Spirit on our leadership, ministers, members, and region. Only prayer can give us success!
