FRANKLIN — Tennessee Baptist Mission Board youth specialist Jay Barbier didn’t have to wait long to find out about the effectiveness of this year’s Youth Evangelism Conference.
Barbier’s phone started buzzing with text messages and voicemails just moments after the conclusion of the conference, which was streamed digitally across the state on the night of March 13.
“We had an amazing response,” said Barbier. “I was so humbled to hear from youth leaders shortly after the event about students getting saved! We also saw many adults respond to the need to get their baptism on the right side of their salvation. It was awesome.”
