Every two years we refresh our vision to reach the nations with the gospel at our worldwide faith-promise missions conference. Over our history, God has enabled us to give nearly $3.2 million in the support and promotion of global missions. Our speaker will be Dr. Ron Allen, veteran pastor and member emeritus of the board of Baptist World Mission, Decatur, Ala. We’ll also host several guest missionary families: Nathan and Kristin Childs (South Africa), Mike and Michelle Freeze (Cambodia), Mike and Cindy Haley (Botswana), Daniel and Erin Lang (Nigeria), and Randy and Linda Perkins (Australia). Join us as we ask the Lord to fire up our commitment to His Commission and our burden for lost souls everywhere.
