Expanding the Vision for Global Missions

On October 4th and 5th in Humble, TX - a group of people with a passion to see people of all ethnicities involved in the work of the Great Commission met to learn, worship and pray together. The event was sponsored by WorldVenture (formerly CBInternational) and hosted by Solid Rock Baptist Church.

This event was the Genesis of a great move of God in missions - it was a place for the beginnings of connecting and partnership across racial lines in a real way. Lasting relationships were established that will benefit kingdom building all over the world.

The group that organized this event included leaders at WorldVenture, and pastors & church leaders from Houston, TX and Memphis Tennessee. They call themselves the Missional Gathering Team. Their work is based upon the fact that a missional church orients every aspect of its life around God’s mission, understanding that every member of His Church is sent to participate in the mission of God in the world. They believe strongly that missions is not the domain of a particular group or committee or those with a special calling, but rather every program, function and activity of the church is aligned with God’s mission.

Workshops offered included: Mobilizing the Church to make an Impact for Missions; Mobilizing Your Youth for Missions; Financing Missions; Nuts & Bolts in Preparation for a Mission Trip; Creative Missions Strategies of the Local Church for Missions; and The Role of Prayer and Spiritual Warfare in Missions.

Key note speakers for the event were Pastor D.Z. Cofield, Pastor Paul Cannings (pictured), and Pastor Ross Cullins.

The next GC4 Man It Is On missions festival will be held the first week of October at the same location - SAVE THE DATE!
