I just finished a two hour conference call with a group of IMB leaders gathered in England. They came from five regions around the world to strategize about how to engage our churches in global mission. Great people. Great heart for God's mission.
Here is an example of some of the great things the IMB is doing to connect with what they call "multi-affinity churches" at Catalyst.
Be sure to introduce yourself to Mark Morris via his email at the end of the announcement.
And, while you are thinking about international missions, watch this and then do this!

Global Lunch with Ed Stetzer - Friday Oct 5, 12:30 at Catalyst
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Missions is no longer "local" and "foreign." It is "global." That shift causes us to think, act, and engage in God's mission in innovative ways. What does missions look like in the next 20 years? Where is the convergence of local church, mission agency, indigenous believers, and cross-cultural church planters. Join Ed for a stimulating discussion over a FREE LUNCH. The lunch will be conveniently located at The Gwinnett Convention Center. (Conference Attendees Only.)
Space is limited so register for the conference and then email Mark Morris at missionleader@mac.com if you would like to join Ed on Friday for a FREE LUNCH. (More details to follow.)
