SAVE THE DATE - Dec 30th through Jan 1st, 2025
Morning sessions begin at 9am CST | Evening sessions start at 6:30pm CST
Mission Focus is devoted to developing a culture of missions engagement and complete surrender among every member of the Living Faith Fellowship churches.
The Great Commission is every believer's responsibility, beginning across the street and spanning the globe by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, making disciples, training leaders and sending them to reproduce biblical ministry. Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21
Mission Focus is a great opportunity for Living Faith church members, from young to old, to take personal stock of how they live the Great Commission. This conference has been used powerfully to impact the hearts and lives of many growing leaders to hear the call of God.
