EVA CONFERENCE 2024
Come and See: unexpected encounters with jesus
FEBRUARY 2 - 4 | HAMPTON, VA
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Gospel of John opens with a curious invitation from Jesus to his new disciples: “come and see” (John 1:29). From that moment on, the disciples witness unexpected encounters with Jesus. He performs a miracle in the middle of a wedding party. A religious leader seeks out Jesus in the dead of night with his real questions. A woman others gossip about gets a conversation with Jesus by a well. Jesus is always meeting people in unexpected ways. Join us at EVA 2024 as we walk through John 1-4 and see for ourselves why people became followers of Jesus. Whether you are new to Jesus, just checking faith out, or if you have been following Jesus for a long time, join us this weekend to “come and see” what Jesus has for you.
