Missions Conferences
Missions conferences have changed the
lives of many individuals, families and churches.
Having been a missionary for two and a half decades
I have attended and participated in many missions conferences. I
have been in conferences in both small, country churches, and in
bigger, city churches. I have seen some great conferences and some
that were not so great. I have gleaned also from the writings and
experiences of other missionaries, mission representatives, and
pastors. I have kept my eyes and mind open and evaluated over the
years the different ways that conferences have been organized and
run. Although there is a lot of room for different approaches in
different churches, still there are some major factors to keep in
mind when putting together an international missions conference
and administrating it well. I seek to be of help by making my observations.
I trust you will find many of them to be of assistance to you and
to your church’s missions program.
