Freedom from Bondage: Annual Bangladesh Leadership Conference


Last week, our Christian brothers and sisters in Bangladesh held their Annual Leadership Conference. This year's theme was: Freedom from Bondage.

 The five day conference was attended by leaders of the church, lay leaders, women ministry leaders and youth, with a total of 200 participants, from four different tribal people groups. So each activity and program were arranged each people group in their respective languages.

There were two worship services each day during the conference. Our Ting Ministries partners praise God for His guidance in ministry and the organization of the conference. They felt His blessing, fruitful from the beginning to the end. 

During the conference, there were men and women ministry leaders committee meetings about how  to continue in the work the Lord has placed in their lives and how to become more fruitful in the ministry. There was training to the ministry leaders on different topics as they shared ministry reports from different areas of the country. Together, they encouraged one another, prayed for boldness,  and faithfulness for one another. There were times of fellowship and lots of fun, including: a Bible memory competition to emphasize the importance of staying in God's word, provide encouragement, and prepare others to share the Gospel. A Gospel song competition to grow interest in Music ministry. Bible quizzes were given throughout the conference to grow everyone's knowledge of the Bible. and fellowship meals. 

The conference also emphasized Christian leadership among women in the church. Our partners say: "We have seen many women characters in the Bible how significant roles they have played. Their characters and roles have inspired, enlightened, and empowered many people in the Bible. Those characters still continue to teach us how to live authentic and God-touched lives." If women are given proper training, they too can play  a significant role in bringing light to the world and save many lost souls. 

All the people greatly enjoyed the conference. They said the preaching and fellowship was a source of encouragement and blessing. The participants are excited and renewed to take what they learned from the conference and apply it to their respective fields.
