The 2010 Christian Life Commission conference was a success by any measurable terms. This year marked the first time the conference was held in the Rio Grande Valley. The hospitality, enthusiasm, support and encouragement from McAllen and the surrounding communities was fabulous. The CLC would like to especially thank Josué Valerio, Director of the Missions Mobilization Team for the invitation and Daniel Rangel, Director BGCT River Ministries, for getting the word out. The staff and members of the beautiful Calvary Baptist Church also deserve our gratitude for serving as gracious hosts.

The conference featured dynamic and thought provoking speakers, a look at timely issues and the opportunity to develop and deepen relationships. Thanks to the hard work of the Texas Baptist communications team, those of you unable to attend can now access video of the entire conference including follow-up interviews with the presenters. The theme of this conference was Neither Need nor Greed: Christian Stewardship of Money and Resources. From a look at the Biblical foundation for stewardship, to a prophetic word about the church in our economic times, to challenging public policies that hurt the poor and encouraging churches to provide personal financial literacy classes, the conference took a look at money and economics from many different angles.

To watch the presentations you should right click on the link and save to your computer to be watched in Quicktime. The interviews can be watched online via YouTube.
