Welcome
As one of the chairpersons of the Florida State Lectureship, I feel honored and privileged to extend to you a warm welcome of love and fellowship to the 53rd Annual Florida State Lectureship. I can’t find the words to say just how excited we are to see this Lectureship take off; how can we not have a great time sharing with one another the great things God has done and will do in our lives.
Our theme for this year is, “Wont He Do It!” How fitting this theme is as we look back four years ago when we were all shut out and locked up and look where we are today. Celebrate with us; shout it out, “Won’t He Do It!”
We are hoping that you will be so fired up that the smell of smoke will still be on you when you get back home. Thank you for helping to equip God’s people in the Tampa Bay area; we know that your coming will be fruitful.
I’m hoping to meet a new brother or sister at this Lectureship that I will remember for the rest of my life. I want you to leave here with two things in your heart: (1) I’m glad I came, and (2) Won’t He Do It!
Won’t He Do It!
