A Strategic Missions conference
September 27-28
Go Con was an incredible weekend where we focused on God’s heart for the world and our role in taking the Gospel to the nations as senders or goers. Together with our weekend worship services, the theme from Isaiah 6:8—“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me’”—set the tone for powerful times of worship and reflection.
We were blessed to hear from our keynote speaker, Dr. Todd Ahrend, and to spend time with some of our global go-team partners, national organization partners, and all of our local go-team partners. The missions fair and the Ten of Those bookstore were highlights throughout the weekend, giving us opportunities to connect, learn, and be inspired.
It was a joy to see so many people register, share a meal together, and even wear the optional conference t-shirts as a visible sign of unity and commitment to God’s mission. What a weekend of encouragement, challenge, and celebration of what God is doing around the world!
