The 2013 Zambia Annual Reformed Conference.

Theme: “The Christian Life: Finding Assuarance & Fighting Temptation”

The Zambia Annual Reformed Conference 2013 will be held from August 26 to 30, 2013 at Lusaka Baptist Church, Lubu Road, Lusaka. Online registration is now closed.

Don Carson and Thabiti Anyabwile will be the main preachers to guide us through the conference, from Monday to Friday; they will also take up teachings in a series of seminars on the biblical life.

Don Carson is research professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. Carson came to Trinity from the faculty of Northwest Baptist Theological Seminary in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he also served for two years as academic dean.

Carson is a respected exegete and has written or edited more than forty-five books, including commentaries on books of the Bible, the Sermon on the Mount, the Gospel of John, and books on prayer and suffering. His book, The Gagging of God: Christianity Confronts Pluralism (1996), won the 1997 Evangelical Christian Publishers Association Gold Medallion Book Award in the category of “theology and doctrine.” (theopedia.com).

Thabiti Anyabwile is married to Kristie, with whom he has three children: Afiya, Eden, and Titus. He is senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.

Thabiti is a former Muslim. His book (The Gospel for Muslims: An Encouragement to Share Christ with Confidence[Moody, 2010] ) is a terrific reminder that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, Muslims included. In his own words: “My wife and I lost our first child at about three months into the pregnancy. The Lord humbled us and softened us. During that period of mourning… we began to hear the gospel preached [on] a pastor’s weekly television program. We attended his church one Sunday and he preached what is still one of the best expositions I’d ever heard on Exodus 32. It was Law and Gospel. And in God’s richest kindness, He saved my wife and I through the preaching of the gospel on that day.” (christianity.com).

We expect our Lord God to use these men in a mighty way to draw many souls to himself, and to further inform and strengthen the faith of his saints over the period of the conference.
