World Missions Announces General Assembly Events
Activities are scheduled and preparations are well underway for the 77th Church of God International General Assembly, set for July 30-August 3, 2018, in Orlando, Florida. Church of God World Missions has announced several events in conjunction with the Assembly.
The World Missions Pre-Assembly Conference is the forerunner to the General Assembly and will take place on Monday morning, July 30. According to an announcement from World Missions, leadership and missionaries from around the globe “arrive en masse to renew their spirits and enhance their ministries on foreign soil. The desire to Send the Light to the Cities and FINISH the Great Commission weighs heavy on the hearts of the World Missions leaders, Dr. David M. Griffis, director, and Dr. M. Thomas Propes, assistant director.”
A highlight of the conference will be the Missionary Recognition and retirements. Missionaries who have faithfully served through the years will be honored for their contributions to the cause of evangelization. Excitement and gratitude will fill the air as “Mission Possible Miracles” from various parts of the world will be shared.
“The World Missions family is a unique one,” stated Griffis, “and loving and winning souls is at its core—it is the driving force for what we offer to our Lord Jesus Christ.”
In addition to the pre-Assembly conference, World Missions will host an exhibit in the exhibit hall and coordinate a portion of Thursday evening’s traditional “Parade of Nations” with missionaries and residents in cultural attire.
This past week, the World Missions board met in session at the International Offices in Cleveland, Tennessee.
