Over the last 14 years, God has grown our mission organization from an idea of empowering servant leaders to pursue his or her God-given mission to having more than 80 members serving around the world. Of course there have been ups and downs, but it seems as though God has us on a seven-year growth cycle. I think this is a result of our commitment personally to a seven-year term of membership with the seventh year a sabbatical year.
At the beginning of a new seven-year cycle, I'm calling for us to gather for a "Summit on Global Mission," to celebrate as a community God’s grace that has brought us this far and to seek his direction for our future in anticipation of even greater contribution to God’s mission. I want to invite you and your ministry partners to gather together in Colorado to "climb to the summit" in order that we may “see further” and gain a new perspective on our lives, our mission, our community and our world. Not only will we learn from one another but I also have invited “experienced guides” from the missions world to help lead us “higher.” I do not anticipate that we will gather again in this way until 2026, so I am expecting that this will be an important gathering in our organization's history.
When: 5 days/4 nights, to begin at 4 p.m., Friday, July 19, and conclude Tuesday, July 23, at noon.
Where: The Village at Breckenridge Conference Center, Breckenridge, Colorado.
