Well, Bethlehem Baptist Church and Desiring God in Bethlehem College and Seminary,

we'd like to welcome you to this seminar.

Let the Nations Be Glad with Pastor John Piper.

This is the first time John has done this seminar on missions,

even though he's done dozens of these Friday night, Saturday morning seminars over the years,

and we're glad that you could be with us for this.

Some of you may know that these seminars have previously been called TBI seminars, the Bethlehem Institute,

which was our apprenticeship program and training program here at Bethlehem. And that program has now

matured into a full college and seminary, Bethlehem College and Seminary. And we would love to have you take a look at Bethlehem College and Seminary if you're

interested. There are tables here in the back for the college and seminary.

Also, you can check things out online at BCSMN.org.

Also, there's another one of these seminars coming just around the corner november 11 and 12

the theme is corporate worship and the title is gravity and gladness that's November 11 and 12

and we'd love to have you join us for that as well the format for the seminar is five hours, two hours this evening, three hours

tomorrow morning. So a little warning ahead of time that it'll be two straight hours this evening.

And if you would like to stretch or visit the restrooms, please feel free to do so at any point.

The restrooms are out the doors through the

commons. If you'll follow the little white chain fence there that's roping off the wedding reception

party for tomorrow, you'll go right to the restrooms there. There will then be a short break

about nine o'clock, and we'll come back in here to have a Q&A time with Pastor Piper.
