Thursday Networking Lunch: International Theological Education Network
ITEN is World Outreach’s ministry to train global leaders so that they can train and send their own missionaries to unreached peoples. Join Bruce Anderson and Stephen Woodworth on Thursday, June 22, from 12:00-1:30 p.m. in the Family Life Center, Conference Room B, and hear inspiring stories, get information about ITEN sites developing around the world, share your ideas and experience, learn from specialists working in the field, and find out how you can be involved.
Thursday Networking Lunch: International Business as Mission
Grab a boxed lunch and come to Room 12 on the first floor of the Kids and Youth (KAY) Center on Thursday, June 22, from 12:00-1:30 p.m. and hear Randy H., an entrepreneur who has worked in Southeast Asia for 17 years; Harry T., an entrepreneur actively seeking God’s direction on how to be involved; and John M., World Outreach stateside IBAM global worker. This panel will explain how to use your business talents and experiences in mission; how to coach and mentor entrepreneurs and businesses; how to financially support business as mission; and how to do vocational workplace ministry in your own neighborhood.
Thursday Evening Worship
The featured speaker for the Thursday evening worship service, 7:30 p.m. in the Fair Oaks Worship Center, is World Outreach’s own Mike Kuhn. Kuhn serves as Lecturer in Discipleship and Biblical Theology for the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary in Beirut, Lebanon. In addition, new World Outreach global workers will be commissioned. Please note that due to potential security concerns, the commissioning portion of this service will not be streamed.
Friday Networking Lunch: Sending our EPC Sons and Daughters
Historically, the pioneers from America to Korea, the Arab Middle East, Turkey, and Iran were Bible-soaked Presbyterians. World Outreach has embraced that challenge once again—sending long-term teams of 6-8 individuals to people groups without biblical churches and where very few nationals are able and willing to go. Who will you prepare and send from your church? Join Shawn Stewart and Greg Livingstone on Friday, June 23, from 12:00-1:30 p.m. in the Fair Oaks Family Life Center, Conference Room B.
World Outreach exhibit area
Many of our global workers will have displays about their ministries at the World Outreach exhibit area in the Nelson Family Life Center Rec Hall at Fair Oaks. Stop by any time between Tuesday and Friday afternoon and get acquainted!
