(AgapePress) - - Next weekend Gospel for Asia (GFA), a ministry that trains native Christians to plant churches in unreached areas, will host its second annual Renewing Your Passion Conference in Dallas, Texas.Organizers of the upcoming conference say their aim is to bring the foreign mission field to the United States in a powerfully inspiring and informative way. GFA founder and president K.P. Yohannan says those attending will be challenged and encouraged by an event featuring native mission field leaders, who will share about the realities and challenges of taking the gospel to remote areas of India and other parts of Asia.
Yohannan says this year's conference will be a time of worship and "looking into God's Word, seeing Christ of the New Testament" and how scripture applies to the needs of a lost world. The proceedings will include "lots of interaction and a significant amount of question and answer time, where people can ask information and learn about what's going on," the ministry leader notes, as well as "lots of fantastic testimonies from the mission field as to what God is doing."
The 2006 Renewing Your Passion Conference promises to be a unique experience, Yohannan contends. He says it will give participants a chance to hear from those who work daily in the mission fields of Asia, and "not only will they hear information, but they will have an opportunity to do something as a family, as an individual, as children, to impact these nations for eternity."
This potential, to not only learn about what is happening in the mission field but also to become involved, is "the uniqueness about this meeting that people talk about," the GFA president asserts. "It's not just information," he says. "I would say this is a once-in-a-life opportunity."
Yohannan says those who attend the second annual Renewing Your Passion Conference will be getting a first-hand account of the struggles and successes faced daily by Christian missionaries in Asia. The conference will run June 30-July 2 in Dallas, Texas.
