Start making plans to attend the 2024 annual meeting of Reformed Believers Publishing (RBP). The Lord willing, this will be the fifth annual meeting of our intrepid organization. God be praised for raising up and preserving the witness of RBP and Sword and Shield, the free paper that RBP publishes. The witness of Sword and Shield continues to shine as a bright light amid the darkness of the “falling away” (2 Thess. 2:3).

Once again, the annual meeting will be held at Wonderland Tire Company located at 1 84th Street SW, Byron Center, Michigan. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 18. Parents and children alike are encouraged to attend the meeting to hear the edifying and inspiring speeches and to enjoy rich communion of the saints with like-minded believers who are committed to the glorious privilege of publishing the truth of the sovereignty of God in salvation. Delicious refreshments will be served after the meeting.

This year Rev. Tyler Ophoff, pastor of First Reformed Protestant Church, will be the keynote speaker on the topic “The Antithesis and Common Grace.” The Lord willing, Rev. Luke Bomers and Rev. Nathan Langerak will also be present to make comments pertinent to the witness of Sword and Shield. There will also be comments from the president of RBP and reports from the board secretary and treasurer. Also the three new board members will be announced at this meeting.

The annual meeting is the yearly opportunity for new members to join Reformed Believers Publishing. Perhaps there are young men and women who have been thinking about joining or others who have read Sword and Shield for five years now and would like to join the organization that publishes the magazine.
