a blessing it was to witness as members of the Body of Christ received God's Word and came to understand their covenant rights, and learned how to stand on the promises of God, to pray according to the Word, to use their faith, and to be led by love. "There are fundamentals in faith," Brother Copeland said, "because God is the God of fundamentals. He has a book of destiny, and if you'll listen to Him, He will have you at the right place at the right time." He likened the fundamentals of faith to sports.

He reminded believers that the hundredfold return is real and trustworthy. God established it in the beginning, and it continues to this day. Southwest Believers' Convention At the Southwest Believers' Convention, attendees experienced a total immersion in the Word through life- changing messages from speakers who, along with Brother Copeland, taught on topics like vision (Jesse Duplantis), knowing God's Word to receive answers to prayer (Keith Moore), developing a miracle mindset (Bill Winston) and how faith—not the strategies of the world—always work (Jeremy Pearsons). Their messages wove together in a Spirit-led tapestry that brought truth and maturity, and produced signs and wonders. On Friday night of the Southwest Believers' Convention, gospel artists Bill Gaither and the Gaither Vocal Band made their first-ever SWBC appearance when they joined Brother Copeland on stage and helped to create an exciting atmosphere of praise and worship.

As Brother Copeland has stated: "There is no price too big, no ešort too great, no job too hard for our God to reach our children. Whatever we must do, we are going to reach our kids." This past year at the Southwest Believers' Convention was no dišerent.
