We thank you for the important role you will play in the 2022 Mission Leaders Conference – a hybrid conference. This page was created to provide you with all the information you will need to know as a presenter at Counting the Cost 2022. We will update content from time to time so please save this link and refer to it for future questions.
About Our Theme – Counting the Cost
Conference Verse:
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Luke 14:28
Synopsis:
The cross and the kingdom cannot be separated. Jesus calls us to share in this suffering as we take the gospel to all peoples. In 2022, Missio Nexus will be highlighting suffering, loss, bold witness, and sacrifice as we share the love of Christ with others.

At the bottom of the form, you can select SAVE or SUBMIT. By selecting save you will be provided a link to return and continue editing the form before submission. This is what you will see:
Before submitting, you may want to save and email the link to your track leader for approval before submitting. This way, if edits are needed, they can be made before submitting. Once submitted, you cannot return to this form for editing. If you are presenting alone, you are the Primary Presenter. If you are presenting with others, each presenter needs to submit this form. In this case, 1 individual must be designated the Primary Presenter. Those who are not Primary Presenters will be able to skip portions.
