Introducing \u201cThe Church on Mission\u201d: an ICOMB consultation on mission and prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Location: Bangkok, Thailand<\/p>\n

Dates: 7\u201311 March 2017<\/p>\n

The global MB family is seeking God\u2019s direction for our greater mission calling. MB Mission is a vital part of this event as we work together. It will be historic. In 1988, a mission consultation was held in Curitiba, Brazil. ICOMB was a result. In 1999, a smaller mission consultation was held in Wichita, USA. This is the first time that the global MB church itself is calling for such a meeting.<\/p>\n

Our vision is that each conference will leave with a renewed sense of God\u2019s calling with three or four specific mission initiatives (global and local). Our faith vision is that each group will leave with a commitment to build a prayer movement in their national church.<\/p>\n

Steering committee: Heinrich Klassen (Germany), Paul Duck (Brazil), Vic Wiens (MB Mission), David Wiebe (Canada)<\/p>\n
