Sammy Tippit Ministries recently conducted a leadership conference among Armenian Christians of all denominations. Tippit brought a series of messages on "Running with Endurance" to those in attendance. He spoke on a Sunday afternoon to pastors from Yerevan. Pastors and leaders came from every denominational background, both Protestant and the Apostolic (Orthodox) Churches. He challenged the leaders to run to their full potential the race that God had called them to run.

The following week, Tippit spoke to ministry leaders from throughout the nation. He brought a series of messages on "Running with Endurance." He taught from Hebrews 12:1-3 and shared how God had led him to run in the original Greek Marathon and taught him principles of running with endurance. He then applied those principles to the passage in Hebrews. Many of the leaders left the conference with a heart to run the race of life and run to their full potential.

The one message that seemed to resonate the most with those in attendance was "running hills." Many of the leaders had experienced difficulties and were searching for truth that would help them to know how to handle their difficulties. The message gave them hope, encouragement, and insight in facing difficulties.

STM asks our friends to pray for these leaders in Armenia. Ask God to help them to finish the race that God has given them to run.
