On November 28 to December 1, the Maranatha Baptist Church – Villamonte will hold its 54th Missions Conference with a very strong message. TOGETHER IN PROMOTING THE GOSPEL, the church would like to stress the importance of partnership in the process of proclaiming the Gospel to the world.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 28:19
King James Version
Promoting the Gospel
The Gospel work is too vast and heavy. It could not be accomplished by a single individual or a single church. It is important that all Christians, churches, mission agencies must work together to get the job done.
Promoting the Gospel is the work of the church as a whole. Everyone who has Christ in his heart should participate. And that participation must be strengthened.
Our Objectives
This year’s Missions Conference has one clear objective: to encourage full cooperation of all Christians in promoting the Gospel. Denominational walls must be broken down to pave the way for true Gospel-centered churches to work together closely and actively to further the cause of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
This is also to encourage continuing support from leaders and churches of those who are engaged in worldwide cross cultural mission work.
This conference also aims to challenge the young generation to heed God’s call for missions.
What Guests Could Expect
Delegates should expect to be encouraged, reinvigorated and challenged through the messages from our speakers and the testimonies of our missionaries.
- We are expecting books on Reaching Roman Catholics with Gospel to arrive in time to be distributed to our delegates.
- We will have our mini-boutique ready for the pastors and their wives to go to and choose what they need.
- We will also have medical missions to try to meet the medical needs of the ministers and missionaries.
- We also included some surprises.
