“At the celebration, we will worship with the new missionaries, hear stories of their call to missions, and pray together for their families as they take the gospel to unreached people and places around the world and are challenged with a message from David Platt to do your part in participating in God’s global mission. Immediately following the service, we will have a reception outside Spilman Auditorium. We anticipate a large crowd, so please carpool and arrive early. Overflow seating will be available.
“Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to gather with a coalition of churches to celebrate the sending out of missionaries. “Gather with a small group, your family or church to watch online with people all over the world and participate in worship, prayer and sending out missionaries.”
“We hope to see you either in person or online.”
