This week Christianity Today will be livestreaming the Global:Church Forum–a gathering allowing the Western church to hear what God is doing in the Global South and East and discover out how ministry is done in different cultures and economies. This gathering will create a context for you to hear what God is doing around the world, and then understand how this movement in the non-Western world affects movements, models and methodologies pursued by those in the West.
Hosted by Leadership Journal‘s own Skye Jethani, the event will be held October 16-18 at Park Community Church in Chicago. Most sessions will be streamed live on CT’s website, and evening sessions will be open to the public and feature music by Sara Groves.
