FIRM Foundation president, Rod L. Meldrum would like to invite you to participate in this faith-building regional conference.  

**UPDATE #1 ** 03/24/14 - Wayne May's schedule has changed and he cannot make the conference.  We look forward to hearing him at the International Conference in April. 

**UPDATE #2 ** 03/26/14 - Due to LDS Women's Conference on Saturday, March 29th from 5:00-6:30 pm, we are going to have a break in our conference at 4:00 pm rather than 6:00 pm as previously outlined.  We encourage all Sisters to attend the Women's Conference and their husbands to support them. We will then resume our conference at 7:00 and close at 9:00 pm.  This will allow an hour travel time for the sisters to go home, change clothes and attend Women's Conference or change clothes at the school go to one of the many chapels in the area.  We hope you will return (no need to change clothes again) to the conference for the last portion which will be well worth it.  We were unaware of the scheduling of Women's conference several months ago when the Book of Mormon Evidence event was planned.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Presentation Topics…

Covenant and Promised Lands - A Journey Through History

This presentation is the framework for all the other presentations. Where was the earliest "land of promise" according to scripture?  Where are the two "Promised Lands" revealed by Christ in his visit to the Nephites of the Book of Mormon and why is this knowledge critically important? God made a covenant with Abraham that includes four special blessings.  What are those blessings and what is required to attain them?  For what purpose does God provide these special blessings to his covenant people?  Where has this covenant been established and by whom throughout world history?

These four blessings form the basis for the success or failure of many civilizations through time.  They have been invoked by prophets, patriarchs and presidents again and again on two covenant and promised lands.  Adam, Abraham, Lehi, Moroni, George Washington, and other leaders of civilizations have invoked this sacred covenant with God on these two lands.  What happens when those civilizations reject God's blessings and turn from Him?  This will be one of the most powerful presentations you may ever see on evidences of the Book of Mormon as well as how to save a nation from destruction - the power of - the Promised Land Covenant. 

Lehi's Ocean Voyage Verified

 Has Lehi’s ocean voyage been discovered and substantiated? Once you see this presentation you’ll be asking, "Why isn't this front page news?" For the first time since the coming forth of the Book of Mormon there is direct, incontrovertible evidence supporting the Book of Mormon’s claim of a voyage from the Saudi Arabian peninsula to the Americas.  A recently completed oceanic expedition in a 600 B.C. wooden sailing ship has provided astounding new understandings for Lehi’s voyage to the Americas.  It was patterned after remnants of ancient Phoenician ships, known to have made the first circumnavigations of Africa in the same era as Lehi’s voyage. Could there be any correlations?

Ancient Hebrew Writing Now Verified Seven Times in America!

Evidence of the Law of Moses on the Promised Land

The Book of Mormon prophets wrote that they were living the Law of Moses.  Is there any archaeological evidence that the ancient civilizations that flourished in the Americas during Book of Mormon time frames were living that law? New research based on the findings of Hebrew/Jewish expert Amberli Nelson provides astounding evidence to support that claim.  Come to the conference and  learn of these amazing new discoveries. This is an area of research that has never been considered previously in locating the Book of Mormon lands.
