1996 YOUTH Conference
Over 320 registrants gathered at the tenth annual Southern Baptist Founders YOUTH Conference which convened in Panama City Beach in June. Pastors Bill and Tom Ascol addressed the theme of "The Holy War." The reality, intensity and decisiveness of this spiritual conflict were in view as young people were challenged to recognize that there is no neutral ground. Reports of some who were hopefully converted during the week have been received. For 10 years this youth camp has been used of God to change the lives of many young people. It is worthy of the utmost support from those who desire to see youth challenged to be true disciples of Jesus Christ through the exposition and application of God's Word.
