Strengthening Strategic Connections

by | Sep 30, 2015

Asia-Pacific Region: We live in a world where “connections” are critically important. But the tyranny of the urgent and the “busy-ness” of daily life can keep us from giving proper attention to the connections that matter most.

When the Asia-Pacific Region sent out a survey in 2014 regarding possible themes for our first region-wide missionary retreat, those who responded expressed a strong desire to strengthen strategic connections.

Some of us on the Asia-Pacific Region serve in isolated locations, or are so inundated by the needs in our area that we have little time to keep up with what God is doing around the Region. This narrow focus can also prevent us from seeing what the Spirit is doing through our Church on a broader scale around the world; on a personal level, we must daily stay close to the Source of our spiritual strength.

So the theme of our 2015 Asia-Pacific missionary retreat is “Connecting.”

With God

With His Mission

With each other

In the coming weeks, over 100 missionaries including 20 “MK” teens and children will gather from around the Region for 3 days of worship, praise, prayer, learning, and fellowship.

Would you partner with us in this event? 

Please pray: 

  • That God will bless this gathering with a wonderful sense of His Spirit.
  • For safe travels as the gathering will require close to 1/2 million cumulative miles of air travel.
  • For safety during the event.

Partner:
