October 8-12, I was honored to be part of The Future of the Gospel Forum, led by the World Evangelical Alliance in Istanbul, Turkiye.
According to the WEA:
"The Future of the Gospel Forum (FGF) hoped to be an unprecedented mission acceleration event set to reshape the next decade of church-centric outreach!
They gathered an exceptional and diverse group of individuals from various cultures, ethnic backgrounds, age groups, churches, ministries, universities, and companies. The hand-picked assembly of visionaries collaborated to create powerful outreach plans that aimed to make a lasting impact on our world.
Together, we crafted strategies that bridge cultures and cross boundaries, ensuring that the message of hope reaches every corner of our global community."
I enjoyed the fellowship, networking and being part of the ongoing development for Theological Education. Our track focused on the challenge of under-equipped leaders for the Great Commission and we brainstormed the pitfalls and potential solutions to the problem.
A3’s voice proved to be critical as we helped assess the current realities and affirmed a few options to move forward.
Ultimately the team decided to help platform the Galilean Movement which A3 has been central to launching the last few years. As a founding member, I’m eager to see our vision come to fruition:
We long to see Christ-like Harvest Workers Everywhere
A3 helped launched this movement because we are considered one of the proven practice networks in accelerating Christ-Centered Movements through Disciple-Making and Leader Development around the world. Learn more about our proven practices here:
