Schedule is below

Pastors and Youth Leaders:

Are you ready for the ¡°Avalanche¡± or better known as the Youth Evangelism Conference?  Just like last year, this will be an exciting event with our featured guests.  The theme for this year¡¯s conference is ¡°Transformers.¡±  Don¡¯t miss getting your youth involved in this event. 

Our guest speaker is Afshin Ziafat.  He is no stranger to Alaska.  He was our speaker in 2003 up in Fairbanks.  He is Iranian and was converted from Islam while living in Texas.  He is now a full time youth speaker and travels the country telling his story and teaching about Christ.  Our band is Pocket Full of Rocks.  They are a powerful worship band and concert artist.  We are going to be blessed by these leaders.    

Our conference will start on Friday evening at 7 pm and conclude around 10 pm.  We will start things back up at 10 am the next morning and conclude around 5 pm in the afternoon.  We will have two breakout seminars.  Having the conference at Anchorage Baptist Temple allows us the opportunity to have many breakout conferences for youth to choose from.  As soon as we confirm all of our speakers, we will send you an update.  If you would like more details on the schedule, please email Jennifer Pine at Jennifer@alaskabaptistconvention.com

A couple of things to note about this year¡¯s conference are the shirts and meal.  T-shirts will be provided to all attendees who register by February 26.  You must have your money and registration into our office by this time in order to get the shirts.  We have to have time to order the shirts.  You can still add people up to the day of the event, but they will not get a shirt.  Help your parents and youth understand they need to plan ahead. 

Secondly, we are going to have a sandwich lunch for all students and adults who have registered by March 12.  You can fax in the numbers for meals by this day and bring the additional registration money to the event.  Some people will sign up late, but those that sign up by the February 26 date will get a shirt.

If there are questions, give me a call at 907-344-9627, 907-301-7923, and 800-883-9627 or call Jennifer Pine, my assistant.  We are looking forward to a great event.  There are many churches that can house students.  Please call us for a list if you need one.  There are churches in Eagle River and even in the valley that might house you.  This could be an option for you and your kids.  Don¡¯t be afraid to ask.  God bless and bring with you some teens that need to hear good news.
