Webinar: Church Mission Leader Peer-2-Peer: Sending our Own and Partnering with Indigenous Missions

Description:

You’re invited to a special Peer2Peer virtual gathering designed for church mission leaders who long to see the whole Church engaged in God’s global mission. Join us as we explore the vital calling to both send workers from our own congregations *and* to partner deeply with indigenous missionaries around the world—embracing a truly collaborative approach. This gathering will equip and inspire you to build missional strategies that honor the gifts of your local church while also uplifting the leadership of those already on the ground. Let’s reimagine how we send and support, together.

This virtual gathering is for every an any church mission leader (Senior Pastor, Missions Pastor, Missions leader and/or missions volunteer) who is in any way involved or interested in mobilizing the local church to serve globally. This is the event to attend for those of you who are serving in your local church and also have a global mindset. The participants will hear from those who are actively sending from the local church and serving with indigenous believers on the field. They will receive insight, tools, ideas, etc. They will have the opportunity to have their questions or concerns addressed/answered.
