Abiding in Christ, the source of godliness and effective ministry, was the focus of the Abide Women’s Conference at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOBTS) Feb. 7-8.
More than 300 women — ages teen to 90s — attended the inaugural event under the direction of Tara Dew, wife of NOBTS president Jamie Dew.
“It is our desire at NOBTS and Leavell College to train, equip and serve anyone — male or female — that comes to us,” Dew said. “The Abide Conference is one way we hope to serve the women on our campus, in our local churches and in our broader community to know and love God more deeply.”
Jess Archer, children and youth missions education strategist for the Louisiana Baptist Convention and plenary speaker for the two-day event, encouraged listeners to grow in Christ through prayer, Bible study, stewardship and solitude — spiritual disciplines that are “found in Scripture that promote growth in a believer.”
