Editor's note: May 19 is the date of the Vision 2000 Baptism, when the Columbia Union plans for a baptism to be held in each local church. Ad- ventist leaders believe more than 2,000 people will be baptized that day. From The Visitor staff asked Vikki Mont- gomery Fields, former proofreader on our staff, to interview Pastor William Scales, North American Division ministerial director, about the changes he has seen during his 30 years of evan- tents gelistic outreach.

Five hundred participants came the weekend of November 3-5 for the Poto- mac Conference's annual Church Min- istries and Communication Convention, making it the largest event of its kind in North America. Now a two-year tradition in Potomac, the event was held at the Hilton Hotel and Convention Center in Williamsburg, Virginia, and has a dual purpose. One is to offer specialized training from Seventh-day Adventist experts to volunteers in such areas as both adult and children's Sabbath school, children's ministries, family life, personal evangelism, youth ministries, Pathfindering, young adult ministries, health and temperance, Community Services and communication. Equally important is the opportunity this convention gives to volunteer church leaders to meet others who hold the same church responsibilities they do and to learn from each other as they share ideas and experiences. Guest presenters for the seminars were from the General Conference, the North American Division, the Colum- bia Union and other unions throughout North America. Convention coordinators decided to expand this year's selection of seminar topics. Formerly, all participants reg- istered for one track of seminars and stayed within that area for the entire convention. Convention But the realization that many lay leaders hold more than one leadership position in their churches prompted coordinators to re-examine the seminar protocol. During Convention '89 partic- attracts 500 ipants had the option for "cross-overs" as they selected from 33 seminars in 11 different areas. This feature seemed to draw additional participants. lay leaders "I've been to all the conventions, and this was the best yet!" said one of the many delegates who expressed appre- ciation for the new ideas they were able ROBBI PIERSON to take back to their local churches and improve their individual areas of ministry. Delegates returned home better equipped and more willing to take on new responsibilities as lay leaders. Enthusiasm rides higher than ever Guest speaker for the weekend was Dwight Nelson, senior pastor of the Pi- for Potomac's annual oneer Memorial church at Andrews Uni- Church Ministries and versity in Berrien Springs, Michigan.
