Three-day event starts Thursday, will focus on intimacy with God

-

The Alabaster Box Conference, An Intimate Encounter with the King, will be a three-day event presented Thursday through April 1 at Greater Heights Ministries, 3310 Jefferson Ave.

Kimberly Smith, event organizer, says she believes some people’s relationsh­ips with God need to be brought back in alignment and they need to be reconciled with Him, healed and strengthen­ed.

The only guaranteed way she knows to achieve this is to become intimate with God, she said.

“The theme is ‘An Intimate Encounter with the King,’ and each session has a specific emphasis: Thursday, inner healing and deliveranc­e; Friday, ministry of restoratio­n; and Saturday, anointing for service,” she said.

Topics and presenters on Thursday are “Spiritual Abuse,” Kimberly Smith; “Overcoming Church Hurt,” Deaundray Tolbert and Nereyida Alvarez; for the youth, “Making the Bible Relevant for 2017,” Jerrah Surrat; and the “closer,” Ellason Castiglion­e of Clean Heart Ministries, Hot Springs, Ark.

Friday’s topics and presenters are “Gift of Mercy,” Dorothy Battle; “Ministers Need Ministerin­g To, Too,” Clyde White; “An Attitude of Servitude,” Polly Dowden; “F.I.T. for the Kingdom,” Sandy Landrum; and the “closer,” Labrichia Collins of Pilgrim MBC in Mandeville, Ark.

Saturday’s topics and presenters are “Activating the Prophetic,” Marcy Williams; biblical games/activities for the youth, Lanita Clayton; and the “closer,” Lavon Piker of Blacksmith­s, Warriors, and Reapers Ministries of Fouke, Ark.

The events occur at 6:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. Saturday with intercesso­ry prayer 15 minutes before the services.
