Wilmore Free Methodist Church

With great anticipation, we look forward to this year’s Spring Renewal Week, February 22 through 25, and the presentation of the word of God by Vic Hamilton.  Vic is a world-class scholar and preacher with a genuinely soft and humble heart toward God.  We set all other activities of the church aside for these four days in an effort to give God space in our lives to speak a new word to us.  If you’ll do the same, you will not be disappointed.

Vic has published several books and commentaries on the Old Testament which are widely used and translated into other languages. Vic also served on the translation team for two modern Bible versions, the New King James version and the New Living Translation and has written notations for several of the most popular study bibles and bible dictionaries.
