National Missionary Convention 2010

After going on my first mission trip to Brazil in 1997, it seemed only natural to attend the National Missionary Convention (NMC).  This annual event, associated with independent Christian Churches/Churches of Christ, seeks to promote mission work by bringing together Christians supportive of missions, prospective missionaries, current missionaries and mission agencies.  That year the gathering was held in my favorite North American city, Tulsa, Oklahoma.  A couple of years later I managed to attend the NMC in Peoria, Illinois.  Sadly, that was the last time I was able to go, and I doubt I’ll make it this year.

If you can be in the Lexington, Kentucky area in November and are interested in missions, check out the National Missionary Convention.  There are workshops, worship sessions, special events for teens and representatives from various mission groups in the exhibition area.  For those who have a heart for God’s mission, this can be time well-spent.
