Seeking to fulfil the Great Commission

Thanks for your heart of compassion, justice and self-sacrificing love like that of our model, Jesus Christ.

Call2All is about fulfilling the Great Commission, through the Great Commandment and the Discipling of Nations through every sector of society in our generation. Call2All is about collaboration and partnership, it is about servanthood, it is about an intentional focus upon those who have yet to taste and see the goodness of God once in their lives. Most of these would be unreached, the poorest, the ones living in the most challenging places on earth.

Call2All is about looking at models and examples that are working like the city of Mumbai, India. There are several thousand churches that are reaching out to their neighbor, engaging with the major themes of the city like human trafficking, children at risk, housing and economic development through integral mission. There is much to be learned from our brothers and sisters in Mumbai as we convene in city of global influence.

There are also wonderful models of self-sacrificing love from around the world that will also be reflected upon to see how we can grow and multiply in our combined efforts. We sense that the Holy Spirit is already doing many things in Mumbai and that these are going to be days where God meets with us in a variety of practical ways. Come, bring your gifts, your skills and those things God has placed upon your heart to impart.  We really want to focus upon Jesus and how he engaged with the poor, needy, outcasts of his day through a new model of love and compassion.

Thanks for registering as it will a limited group of people.

My name is Steve Goode, Ambassador for YWAM Mercy, Compassion and Justice living in Bangkok, Thailand as well as on the steering group for Call2All. I have never been more encouraged that the Great Commission through the Great Commandment and the Discipling of Nations can be completed in our lifetime. Come and join us in the historic event.

God bless, 
Steve

Call2Compassion and Justice

My name is David Westlake, and for as long as I can remember I have been gripped by the vision of mission and inspired by people who were passionate about the last, the least and the lost.  My passion, which I share with the Global Compassion Network, is to inspire and equip Christians and churches  to serve their communities with word and deed in the power of the Holy Spirit.  

We believe God has sent churches,  “To proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor,”  (Luke 4:18-19); that God’s mission involves proclamation, intercession, worship and demonstration, and we believe that this can transform people’s lives, and the world around them. 

18 months ago a small group came together and  shared vision that we had to go to a place where the church was living out this mission and to learn from it: we wanted to go to Mumbai.   In this city churches are doing amazing work sharing God’s love for the least, the last, and the lost.  I’ve visited a number of times, and I am also moved and inspired by what the Christians there are doing, and am challenged to follow their example in my own home town. 

My prayer for the Call2Compassion and Justice is that you will also be inspired by the work that you will see and hear about in Mumbai, that you’ll want to go back to your communities and follow the example of these churches, and that you’ll go home equipped to do so by the workshops that will take place during the conference. 

Please, join us in Mumbai - and encourage others to come with you on the journey. 

God bless, 
David

Bob Moffitt: Church & Development

 

24 - 28 September 2012

Since 1968 Bob Moffitt has developed and directed Christian organisations that encourage Christians to demonstrate God's love, especially to broken people and their communities.

His heart for the global church and its role in transformation was shaped by two years in the Peace Corps in Africa, a two-year study of missions in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, a seminary major in missions and 12 years of ministry among inner-city youth. Bob founded Harvest in 1981 and has served as President since that time.

He is co-founder, with Darrow Miller (renowned speaker on the relationship between worldview and development, worldview and poverty and writer of "Discipling Nations") of the Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA).

Bob has a PhD in adult education from the Union Institute in Ohio, and has also done graduate studies in public administration, apologetics, missions, Biblical studies and volunteer administration in the United States, Israel, and Switzerland.

As President of Harvest and co-founder of DNA, Bob maintains a busy travel schedule, training church leaders around the world in Biblical holistic ministry. He developed the major portion of Harvest's training materials and is author of the book "If Jesus Were Mayor".

Harvest International holds the following vision, mission and strategy....

VISION - Every member of every church sacrificially serving in their world as Jesus served in His
MISSION - To envision and equip the Church to reflect Jesus, the Chief Servant
STRATEGY - To sow the seed of vision, to provide initial tools, to encourage and coach church leaders, to multiply sowers and coaches
