What Others Are Saying about the Global Outreach Weekend:

Rev. Jorge Acevedo, senior pastor

"The Mission Society team led us through the seminar on becoming a globally focused church. I never could have imagined the change that would occur in our church in just one week!"

Dr. Maxie Dunnam, former president

What Others Are Saying about the Equipping Short-Term Mission Leaders Workshop:

“I’ve been on several short-term mission teams and even served as a co-leader on one. But now I know how to actually lead a group, from start to finish.”

“This workshop is a great idea for STM leaders. So often they ‘fly blind’ and learn the hard way! This takes so many of the bumps out of the road. So good to network with other like-minded Christians.”

“The training was just awesome, high-quality, professional, can’t imagine more being taught in that time…very impressed.”

“I thank God for this workshop – without this training, there would have been no way to pull it off!”

“I can’t imagine anyone organizing a mission trip without this training.”

Steve Dodson, senior pastor
Memphis, TN 
“I can’t describe the thrill of my epiphany – bringing a biblical, strategic, coordinated, approach to the evangelistic outreach of the local church, helping fulfill both the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.”
