BECAUSE OF HIM, BECAUSE OF CHRIST
“So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived” (Genesis 19:29).
God’s mercy and saving grace continue to move, even in places where evil seems to reign supreme and the gospel appears absent. The God who remembers the intercession of one righteous person (Abraham) and saves a family is the same God who, through Christ, has saved us when we were lost, rebellious, and without hope. God’s people continue to bear faithful witness to the gospel in dark places.
Please join us this fall for the 2025 Global Outreach Conference. We will have the opportunity to gather with mission partners who are living out the Great Commission in the hardest places and invite you to join us as we reflect and wrestle together.
How do they obey Christ’s command in their unique contexts?
How are we called to be steadfast and faithful in our own mission fields—our children, families, friends, and in our workplaces?
How do we remember and respond to Christ’s command today?
“Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
May this conference be a time of reflecting, of being challenged, and of renewing our obedience—because of him, because of Christ.
