OPEN AIR PREACHERS CONFERENCEwww.consumingfirefellowship.orgAll next week I'll be attending an Open Air Preachers Conference in Baton Rouge Lousianna. There are going to be pulpit messages as well as daily open air on the LSU campus. This is the annual conference put on by Pastor Britt Williams. I have never met Pastor Britt face to face. I have listened to MANY of his sermons on tape and am so relieved that there are other Christians who read the same bible I read! We have emailed and talked on the phone quite a bit and so I look forward to meeting him. He's a strong supporter of Open Air Outreach and is very excited for all that the Lord is doing. Pastor Britt has been open air preaching for 20 years. John Duncan ( www.gospeljohn.com ) knows him very well and says that he's a man of much fasting and deep prayer. I really look forward to this conference. I have listened to the tapes from the past conferences and believe it's going to be great! If anyone else can make it I would recommend it. There will be great fellowship, strong preaching, and two free meals a day!

oh! I'm jealous. Godly jealousy of course. ;D
I have listened to many of his tapes also. I have enjoyed all of them. I once heard (from another brother) that he has been beat down and just kept on preaching. I've already took off my amount of personal days or I would have planned to attend also.

I remember hearing a story that when Pastor Britt first started street preaching, there was a heckler who said he would beat him bloody everytime he saw him.
Sure enough, everytime this sinner saw Pastor Britt preaching, he would beat him bloody.
Pastor Britt was young and attending a presbyterian Church I believe. He would show up to service with black eyes and broken noices.
An elder of the Church asked him, "What did you do to that poor sinner to make him treat you like that?"
Pastor Britt said, "I PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO HIM!"

The conference went great. It was strong preaching and encouraging fellowship. I was able to met other open air preachers who had been open air preaching for 20 years or less. Some of them knew Holy Hubert and Leonard Ravenhill. I had a godly jealousy. These men were truly men of God, full of the Holy Ghost! They were men of much prayer! We had some great outreaches on LSU. We hit the place hard! Amen!
