John MacArthur—A FAITHFUL GOSPEL VS. A QUICK GOSPEL When we hear of thousands of people being converted and hundreds of churches being planted in remarkably short periods of time, what are we to think?

One of the biggest fears for missionary parents is "Will my kids t...

Aubrey Sequeira—EMPTYING THE CROSS OF ITS POWER: HONOR/SHAME AND THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST In recent days the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement (PSA) has fallen on hard times. This supposed "Western" doctrine is often spoken of as "one option" when communicating the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. The language of honor/shame is seen as more culturally relevant for non-western cultures. Thi...

Chad Vegas—CHRIST'S ATONING WORK FOR THE NATIONS The Apostle Paul spoke of his driving ambition to "preach the gospel where Christ had not been named." When Paul spoke these words, he saw them in line with Isaiah 52:15—the coming of the suffering servant, and His atoning work for the "nations." This session will press toward that atoning work of Christ and the church's work of proclaiming that ato...

Historic missionaries knew their Bible and knew...

What do the previous generations teach us and how does modern missiology stack up to what we see historically? This session will walk through encouragements and dangers in modern missions and how churches can be faithful to the Great Commission in this day and age.

The gospel is not "Western" nor is it rooted in any particular culture, time, or people group. For centuries, the people of God have understood that those who are hidden in Christ come from every nation, tribe, people and language. This session will speak to the supracultural nature of the gospel regardless of tongue and culture, and the "sheep from other sheep pens" that the Master still calls Hi...

There are many false gospels, but only one true Biblical gospel. In missions the propagation of false gospels usually has little to do with the sincerity or the heart of the gospel messenger, and everything to do with outcomes sought. This session will speak to the true gospel and how to protect and cherish it across time and culture.

Missionaries today not only need to know the gospel message, but also, just as importantly, how to communicate that message across language and culture to those still in darkness. This will be a session that will look at those two challenges and how churches can help prepare their sent ones for the task of missions among unreached language groups.
