Community invited to conference Oct. 3

The Journey at Lake Wylie, 5415 Highway 557, will host a free conference for the community on The Amazing Power of Prayer from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 3.

Both are musicians, song writers and worship leaders having released their first worship album in 2009. In 2010, they began a nonprofit ministry called the Power Fund, which helps provide funding for the poor, orphan, widows and emergency relief during catastrophes.
