The Bahamas will be the backdrop for "Spiritual Warfare" next month, a prayer conference that is expected to draw hundreds of believers to the country, hosted by Shipp Family Ministries and the Ministry of Tourism.
The idea for the conference came about from the worldwide movie phenomena the "War Room" which was number one at the box office last year and earned over $27 million worldwide.
The four-day conference will be held October 4-8 at the Golden Gates Outreach Ministries on Carmichael Road and will feature the film's stars -- TC Stallings and Karen Abercrombie. They are expected to speak on Friday at 7 pm. and Saturday at 5 p.m. respectively.
Other "prayer warriors" participating in the conference include Bishop Washington Williams, Bishop Leroy Emanuel, Apostle Peter Chacha from Kenya, Pastor Trent Davis, Pastor Arnie W. Shipp, Yasmin Hanna, Scott and Sarah Bridges and Jennifer Kostyal.
"The Spiritual Warfare conference will give persons an opportunity to pray with others for specific results and to be prayed for in focused driven prayer for specific results," said Dwight Armbrister, Ministry of Tourism (MOT) director of religious tourism.
"MOT is deeply involved in the promotion of this event both nationally and internationally. It is important for us to ensure that our people are always aware of what we are doing for our country and for them to also participate in all of what we are doing for the continued growth and development of our country," he said.
Sessions will begin Wednesday, October 5 at 7 p.m.; there will be prayer sessions beginning at 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., and from 10 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. there will be teaching sessions. There will also be preaching sessions from noon to 2:00 p.m. and again that evening at 7 p.m. The schedule will continue on Friday, October 7 and end on Saturday, October 8 with a preaching session from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
