Every year you can look forward to attending the STAND Conference. Last year's STAND | One Body convened at the Atlanta Georgia Dome on October 1, 2011. This star studded event was hosted by none other that Corey "Coco Brother" Condrey and his beautiful wife JoAnn Rosario-Condrey. If you were not there, then you really missed out on seeing a plethora of artists and speakers such as: Bishop TD Jakes, Soledad O'Brian, Pastor Sheryl Brady, Tye Tribbett, Deitrick Haddon, Canton Jones, Kierra Sheard, James Fortune, Trinitee 5:7, Earnest Pugh, Shirley Murdock, Darwin Hobbs, Martha Munuzzi, Jason Upton, Bishop Dale C. Bronner, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Leandria Johnson, Veronica Petrucci, Bishop Eddie Long, Wess Morgan, Dr. Leonard Scott, The Nevel Sisters, Warren Ballentine, The President of the United States of America, President Barak Obama, and many others were in attendance. President Obama rendered a personal address to the nation and specifically to the body of Christ via satellite. The fact that President Obama took time to address God's people really meant a lot to all those who attended as well as Corey & JoAnn Condrey.

For the entire evening the audience stood attentively; awaiting for the next performer and in reverance to the presence of God. Who could sit down in an atmosphere like this?

During an exclusive interview session, Canton Jones gave heart felt words of infinite wisdom and testimony to the younger generations. Darwin Hobbs ministered like never before with songs like "He's Able" and also collaborated with Jason Upton; which took worship to another level.

Isaac Carree, a member of Kirk Franklin's corale ministered to a crowd of joyous fans from his newly released album entitled "Uncommon Me". Everyone definitely said "Well Done" after Deitrick Haddon sang from his heart and soul directly to the people of God. Deitrick's performance was nothing short of superfragilisticexpialidocious; as his praise dancers accompanied him during the up-tempo song arrangements.

LeAndria Johnson sang "Jesus" like she wrote the song; as John P. Kee would say. When you call upon the name of Jesus something is bound to happen. LeAndria really has a testimony before and after Sunday's best. Watch some of her videos on Youtube and you will be amazed.

We had to save the very best performance for last. None other than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ was in the building. Thousands of souls were saved and baptized on October 1, 2011 at the Atlanta Georgia Dome. Yes, there was a baptism service! After Bishop Eddie Long addressed the crowd and offered salvation, people began to fill the front of the stage; yearning for a change in their lives. The most important motive of any Christian event is to ensure that souls are saved, someone's life is change, and that miracles are wrought through the name of Jesus Christ. If not, then maybe all of our singing, preaching, teaching, and crusading could possibly be in vain. Are we collectively and effectively reaching the lost souls of mankind? We must all take a self inventory of our daily and yearly accomplishments for the Kingdom of God.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and HAVING DONE ALL, TO STAND (Ephesians 6:13).

Continue to STAND people of God!
