Ministry Watch: Always Sisters, Forever Brothers
Ministry Watch highlights and takes a look at ministries, especially youth and young adult ministries, that are bringing people to the Lord.
Last night on TBN, CeCe Winans and Marvin Winans, Jr. had a heartfelt segment dedicated to the legacy of David ”Pop Winans, and the importance of male role models. (You can watch the episode here in the TBN archives.) Marvin talked about his album, and the the significance of the title “Image of a Man” – how men should rise to their roles as leaders. In the segment Cece also mentioned that Marvin would be attending her youth conference, Always Sisters, Forever Brothers that will take place July 24-25, 2009, in Nashville, TN, at Belmont University’s Curb Event Center.
This year is the 4th Annual edition of the conference targeted toward young people ages 13-26, and the first time they have included young men in the line-up. The goal of the event is to “educate, motivate and re-direct the life choices of our teens and young women and men.” The 2009 conference will address a number of important topics – “From date violence to teen pregnancy, eating disorders to absent fathers, and how certain choices affect the lives of all".
This year’s guest speakers include: NFL Coach Tony Dungy, Pastor Jentezen Franklin, Pastor Kimberly Daniels, Nancy Alcorn, Pastor R.A. Vernon, Bis. Horace Hockett, Mom Winans & of course, CeCe Winans. The musical guests include: Mary Mary, 21:03, Anthony Evans, The Katinas, Nia Allen, Da’T.R.U.T.H. & the Chenaniah Dancers. The conference will also include a fashion show and special breakout sessions, and over 5000 young people are expected to be in attendance.
It’s definitely wonderful that CeCe continues this conference every year, and reaches out to the youth. It seems like an awesome experience that will touch the lives of many. You still have time to register, so spread the word.
