10 baptized at Faulkner University’s Inspire
MONTGOMERY, ALA. - Ten participants in the Inspire Summer Youth Conference at Faulkner University responded to the Gospel and were baptized, and 38 more rededicated their lives to Christ, the university said.
Faulkner describes the conference, offered for the third year, as a life-changing spiritual experience to aid teens in their spiritual growth and walk with Christ.
Designed for seventh- through 12th-graders and held on the Christian university campus, Inspire features small-group devotionals, worship times and Christian fellowship, leaders said.
Inspire evolved from Faulkner’s long-running work camp, Focus, which served youths in the Montgomery community. In association with the Sycamore Church of Christ in Cookeville, Tenn., the work camp expanded and grew to include a greater number of teens from surrounding states.
Inspire participants spent time helping out with the Montgomery Inner City
Church of Christ, while also enjoying free time and entertainment.
“It was a wonderful time for everyone involved,” said Joey Wiginton, Faulkner’s vice president for student services. “The kids and adults left Faulkner recharged.”
