Global Outreach Conference | October 4 -11, 2026
The Great Commission has served as the central rallying cry for taking the gospel to the nations. But this command is also a call to make disciples right here in our own neighborhoods.
And the model for making disciples—planting churches—is just as true for reaching your community as it is for remote people groups. In fact, healthy churches must exist locally in order exist globally.
The more we plant and gather in Bible-based churches in our own neighborhoods, the more laborers will be raised up to do the same in the nations.
