From February 20 to March 12, the Nampa Church hosted the Discover Prophecy Seminar with speaker Brian McMahon and his wife, Heidi, who shared her gift of music with attendees most nights. The series was a well-attended, powerful three weeks of exploring God’s Word.
The McMahons are North Pacific Union Conference (NPUC) evangelists. In addition to holding yearly seminars in the larger NPUC areas, they conduct seminars in Montana, Idaho and Alaska on a three-year rotating basis.
After confirming the date, the Nampa Church members participated in weeks of preparation and planning for this event. There were 22 different job designations, each with a leader(s) and many helpers, who faithfully fulfilled their individual tasks each night. The opportunity to meet and fellowship with guests face-to-face was coordinated by the church's social committee; food for the six planned meals was provided by members. Each fellowship meal averaged 120 attendees.
“God blessed abundantly, and on Celebration Sabbath, March 19, 13 precious souls chose to be baptized into God’s family," says Chris Evenson, Nampa Church pastor. "Several small groups have been organized to nurture these new members, as well as provide a place for those wishing to continue studying. We sincerely thank the McMahons for their ministry.”
