Baptist Progress

John Gradberg, pastor of Stoneridge, Kilgore, and his wife, Mickie, have been involved in a motorcycle accident in Arkansas. Apparently, Gradberg hit a deer.

Bro. John is in ICU with multiple facial fractures and brain hemorrhaging. Mrs. Gradberg sustained injuries, but they were not serious.

We have no other details at this time.

Please pray for the quick recovery of Bro. Gradberg, and that our Lord would give peace  to his family during this critical time.

The 2012 edition of SOAR is just weeks away! This youth conference is designed to minister to our future leaders. On July 4-6, thousands
of students will converge on the Gaylord Texan Hotel in Grapevine, Texas, to enjoy three days of worship, friends, and fun.

This year's SOAR theme is "White Fields" and will focus on Jesus' challenge in John 4:35, "I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." The conference will urge students to prioritize their lives around Jesus' mission.

SOAR 2012 will feature the dynamic teaching of Todd West, pastor of Oasis Church in Maumelle, Arkansas. 

Registration information for SOAR and the Gaylord Texan
can be found at the DiscipleGuide website at www.discipleguide.org/soar .
