SOULS World Missions Conference is an annual gathering of Jesus-followers designed to inspire, challenge and equip us to take the gospel to the world.

Throughout history, followers of Jesus have set out to impact the world in Jesus’ name. Many of these people boarded ships, sailing to distant lands, not knowing if they would return home. In their efforts, some amazing work has been done in the name of Jesus. However, there has also been much done in the name of Jesus that does not reflect His character. In light of this complex history, some wonder if global missions is a valid way to reach the world. Does missions do more harm than good? Isn’t missions colonialist and demeaning to other cultures?

These are questions and issues being raised both inside and outside the church today, and we long to help followers of Jesus think through an apologetic for missions in today’s world. Our desire is for churches across our region to be equipped to communicate God’s heart for the nations in an inspiring way, compelling their members to take part in the Great Commission both locally and globally. We long for every tribe and tongue to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. What an amazing privilege it is to be part of God’s redemptive plan!
