SBOM’s SPEAK conference to be held at Vaughn Forest

Today’s students have an amazing ability and opportunity to be an influence in their world,” said Mike Nuss, who works with the State Board of Missions’ student ministries division. “We hope SPEAK conference will serve as a catalyst for that kind of change.”

Formerly named the Youth Evangelism Conference, the theme of the event — set for July 21–22 at Vaughn Forest Baptist Church, Montgomery — is “Voice of Influence.” Speakers will be Acton Bowen, a Gadsden-based speaker and author; Rick Burgess, co-host of the nationally syndicated Rick & Bubba Show, based in Birmingham; and Josh Holland, a church planter serving in New Orleans.

Rush of Fools, a musical group from Alabama, will lead worship and New Orleans native Shantrice Coleman will be back again this year with her trademark spoken word.
