Looking forward to ECon – the Louisiana Baptists Annual Evangelism Conference on Monday & Tuesday, January 25-26 at FBC Lafayette. Featured speakers will be Josh McDowell, Steve Gaines, Alvin Reid & others. (Live Stream located here). I’m very excited to be facilitating a breakout on Tuesday afternoon called Creating an Evangelistic Culture in Your Church. This will be a forum featuring pastors from three of the fastest growing, most evangelistic churches in Louisiana in 2015. If you’re curious about what growing churches in Louisiana are doing, find this breakout!

Jacob Crawford from Life Point Church, Mansura. Life Point had an incredible year, baptizing 105 & starting four new churches! And they did this in one of the most impoverished, hardest to reach areas of Louisiana.

Willis Easley from Christ’s Community Church in Denham Springs. CCC was recently featured in Outreach Magazine. They baptized 135 last year & have done an incredible job designing ministry for the unchurched community. Located just south of a major new on ramp to I-12 at Juban Rd. in Livingston Parish.

Checkerz Williams from Celebration LaPlace. Celebration Church leads Louisiana in baptisms almost every year. They’ve multiplied to six campuses & expecting to add more in the near future. Checkerz leads the River Parishes campuses which has grown exponentially over the last few years in a traditionally hard to reach area for evangelicals.

Grateful for these men & looking forward to learning some tips & tricks born out of real experience of reaching people in Louisiana.
