The Wilbanks Family
From left to right: Liam(10), Olivia(14), Emzara(8)
Kristi, Wade, Matilda(19), Elijah(16), Gabriel(21)
Wade and Kristi Wilbanks will be married for 26 yrs this July. They have eight children and three grandchildren. They are two very imperfect people longing to live for Christ and do His will. As a couple, they strive to encourage other families in their walk as well. Their goal for this conference is to bring speakers they need to hear, and share them with others.
It is so easy, especially today, to focus on the cares of the world...
but Jesus says:
"I have told you these things so that you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world.
Be courageous!! I have conquered the world." John 16:33 HCSB
Our Lord has done such amazing things in each of our lives. He continues to show us great mercy and patience each day. We hope to encourage all who attend this conference to draw closer to Christ, share Him with friends and family, gain a multi-generational outlook for their lives, and learn practical tools to implement into daily life.
