Registration has begun for the 2026 Convocation & Synod. We’ll be gathering at Church of the Holy Spirit, Roanoke, VA, from November 4-7, 2026.
Our speaker will be Bishop Dr. Yassir Eric. Bishop Dr. Yassir Eric was born and raised in Sudan and was radicalized as a Muslim at a young age, even memorizing much of the Quran and holding a deep hatred for Christians and anything that did not align with his Sunni Muslim beliefs. However, a life-changing encounter at the age of 19 with a Coptic missionary would lead him to a dramatic spiritual shift. When Yassir witnessed the miraculous healing of a sick child through the missionary’s prayer, his perspective changed, and he soon embraced Christianity.
This decision cost Yassir dearly. Yassir’s life embodies the resilience and boldness of modern-day apostles, and his efforts continue to inspire Christians worldwide to support and celebrate the growing movement of MBBs.
