How can local churches do global missions well?

Better yet, how do local churches play an active role in sending out and sustaining their own people as international missionaries? The Sending Church Roundtable aims to help answer these questions and others by connecting local church leaders with one another to  share ideas, best practices, think critically and be creative in how to be better sending churches.

 

Are you coming to Together for the Gospel?

Come a day early and attend the Sending Church Roundtable at Sojourn Community Church (just a few blocks away). 

 

Registration cost: $40 (includes lunch and helpful resources)

Registration ends April 8.

A Sending Church is a local community of Christ-followers who have made a covenant together to be prayerful, deliberate, and proactive in developing, commissioning, and sending their own members both locally and globally, often in partnership with other churches or agencies, and continuing to encourage, support, and advocate for them while making disciples cross-culturally.

Pastor of Global outreach | College park church

 Born to missionary parents in Pakistan, Nate had the privilege of growing up there as a “third-culture kid”. However, it wasn't until college that God awakened his heart to the people living in situations like the Pakistanis he grew up with, those who have never heard the gospel and are most likely never to hear it because there are so few believers in their people group. Nate is now serving at College Park Church, Indianapolis, in the capacity of challenging, preparing, and enabling cross-cultural messengers of the gospel.
