Through personal testimonies and a video presentation, Buster Taylor, executive director of Shocco Springs Baptist Conference Center in Talladega, shared with convention messengers how the center is changing lives.
Almost 55,000 people visited Shocco Springs in 2005, and of those, 2,794 made decisions to receive Christ, Taylor said during the Wednesday morning session of the Alabama Baptist State Convention annual meeting.
Joy Davis Reeves and her daughter Molly, members of First Baptist Church, Trussville, were part of Shocco’s nearly 22,000 visitors this summer. The two attended Centri-Kid, where Molly experienced the Shocco that shaped her mother’s life when she was a camper, then a staffer. "God has worked through Shocco Springs to make a difference in my life, and I can’t wait to go back there again," Molly said.
Shocco’s campus underwent some changes in 2006, according to the Book of Reports. Recent building projects or renovations took place in several buildings, and a new warehouse was also built.
Shocco also continues to take part in Hurricane Katrina disaster relief by serving as a stopover point for disaster relief teams. (TAB)
