Interchurch Holiness Convention

Posted by tom865 on May 23, 2010

I was privileged to attend the Interchurch Holiness Convention, or the IHC, in Dayton, Ohio this year.  It was great to be reunited with many dear friends and experience the wonderful singing and outstanding services.  I was really looking forward to hearing Travis Johnson speak in the closing service Thursday evening, but The Holy Spirit had other plans.  The Union Bible College Choir was singing and people began raising hands, crying out loud, and finally walking and running the aisles.  After everything, including many people seeking help at the altar and testifying, they decided to skip the evening message.  I wish I could have heard Brother Johnson, but was glad for the awesome closing service.  I have a few pictures below and a link to the facebook photo album for all the pictures from the convention.

Just one of the highlights of IHC was the Building For Keeps service.  Esther Dotson was one of the outstanding speakers during the service.
