We went to the Annual Conference of the Bay Island Baptist Churches yesterday. It actually started on Thursday, but we had various things that kept us away until Sunday morning. This year, they had what I think is the best speaker in years. Dr. Randy Von Kanel, a missionary pastor in the Cayman Islands, was simple and challenging at the same time. And he sprinkled in some fun while he was at it. This is my first video project with the new computer and software. It was fun trying to condense Dr. Von Kanel’s points into sort of a “Reader’s Digest” version of the message.
Several people were baptized. Folks came from all over the islands as well as the mainland. Among those who traveled some distance was the superb choir from one of the Baptist Churches over in La Ceiba. I wish my camera microphone had better bass response because the men did a great job, but I think you’ll get the idea.
The conference is a really big deal here for the Baptist people. The little church in West End was so packed that, rather than have a bilingual service, they had to move the Spanish only speakers to another location. And, even then, the building was filled to overflowing. Take a look and have a listen. In fact, “look” and “listen” are two-thirds of the pastor’s points. See? I remembered.
