Mid-Ark Gospel Music Quartet
Convention - Great Success!
The Second Annual Mid-Ark Quartet Convention, held February
26-27, 2010, at Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church in
Plummerville, AR, is now an event in history, but its memory
will not soon be forgotten. As part of a series of Gospel
music conventions held across the southern states region by the
Deep South Quartet Convention organization, these concert events
have all been highly successful and well-attended. More
than that, they have all been characterized by a special
anointing and visitation of God's Spirit. As a result, we
have seen revival and spiritual awakening come to many
participants, artists and churches where these events have been
a part. It is our prayer that this will continue to be the
experience and blessings of these conventions as more will be
held throughout this year.
One of the primary ingredients of these conventions is prayer.
The whole weekend is bathed in organized prayer weeks in advance
by the host church and the participating artists. Prayer
groups meet one hour prior to each night's event for focused
prayer. An intense effort is made through prayer for a
visitation from God and an out-pouring of His Spirit in revival
and spiritual awakening.
A series of other meetings that surround the convention help to
bring fellowship and times of refreshing for the participating
artists. The Saturday morning session of the convention is
led by the host group and convention Emcee & Pastor, Mike
Goodwin. Artists have opportunity to share testimonies,
needs and prayer with one another for God's will, plan and
purpose for each one's ministry. A message from God's Word
challenges and encourages faithfulness and obedience to each
one's call.
The host church provides food and refreshments that not only
help to defray the cost of the convention, but is also used to
support the church's mission program and efforts. Numerous
church members help in the preparation and set-up of the
convention, as well as serving meals.
The conventions are set-up for closed-circuit television in the
concession area so that participants don't miss any of the
concert services while sharing food or visiting artist product
tables. Live-stream video of the services have been
offered over the internet in the past several conventions.
New and improved ways of producing these outstanding events are
constantly evolving.
