Our Theme: ECHO
Amplifying the Need for Global Evangelism
“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”
Evangelism is a foundational activity of Jesus’ command to disciple the nations. It is an ancient practice facing contemporary challenges. How do we obey Jesus in proclaiming the good news? What does proclamation look like in our global and local contexts? How can we meaningfully communicate the gospel message in a relevant and compelling way?
Join us as we seek to understand and act upon our responsibility to proclaim the good news to a lost world.
Experience Living Letters
Worship for the Missio Nexus 2025 Mission Leaders Conference will be led by Stephen and Juliette Trafton.
With Living Letters, Broadway actors Juliette and Stephen Trafton present dynamic, interactive performances that enable people to enter imaginatively into the drama of Scripture, providing a powerful new way to understand, experience, and live out the Word of God.
