Hamilton Holds a Prayer Conference

By Judy Fowler, October 17, 2017

Sabbath, Sept. 23, 2017, found the Hamilton Church filled with about 175 members and guests representing 12 Adventist churches from Montana and three from other states. They were all eager participants in the Prayer Conference held by Pavel Goia.

Goia encouraged those in attendance to focus on the God of solutions instead of the problems they face every day. He shared many inspiring stories of how God has intervened in his life in answer to prayer. May we all join him daily on our knees in the presence of our Lord and Savior.

Donna Wagner, Ellen Green and Bill Whitney, pastor, have been planning this successful Prayer Conference for about two years. We truly appreciate Wagner for serving as the Montana prayer coordinator for 20 years and is turning over the joyful task to Debbie Payne this year. We look forward to seeing what God will do in the future through Payne's prayer ministry in the Montana Conference.
