The answer to whether you should attend an upcoming conference, or any conference, is a matter of discerning God’s will and being willing to do whatever he is asking you to do – stay or go. But as you pray and seek his will these are some things to reflect on as it relates to the spiritual and relational benefits of attending a conference or retreat.
You’ll spend time in an environment that’s like a spiritual greenhouse and receive the equivalent of six months of quality input during four to five days.
You’ll be with hundreds of other Christians and get a larger picture of what God’s doing in the lives of other students and other campuses.
You’ll receive in-depth teaching from experienced and insightful Bible teachers.
You’ll get to know other believers in a deeper way.
There are training levels specifically designed to meet each of your ministry needs, along with a variety of optional seminars.
You’ll experience one of the most wonderful times of singing and enjoying God!
God will touch your life in a special way.
Other things to consider:
What is stepping out in faith?
Faith is not saying to God, “Lord, if You do ‘X’ and ‘Y’, I’ll go to the conference.” Rather, faith is saying, “Lord, I’m going because I believe You want me there and I’ll trust You to take care of any problem.”
Step out then and make plans. God will take care of your needs. If He doesn’t want you to go, He’ll close the door. When we grab the doorknob and pull on it we find out if the door is open or closed. “And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19)
