The Purpose of the Meeting

Bring your friends to next year's Baptist Friends meeting April 15-20, 2012!

Our rallying cry is "unto the furtherance of the gospel." The famous evangelist, R.A. Torrey, said, "My one ambition in life is to win as many souls as possible. It is the most worthwhile thing in life." The purpose of this meeting is to rally people around the truth of God and, as friends, to labor together to evangelize the world. It is the responsibility of every Christian to go in the power of the Holy Spirit to the lost, give a clear presentation of the gospel, and bring people to the place of receiving or rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour.
