Kabwe missions conference

OM International
English/Español/Français

Over 100 workers and 500 delegates from Southern Africa and around the world gathered in Zambia for the annual Kabwe Missions Conference from 15 – 18 August. Although this was the sixth conference, it was the first to be held by OM Africa/Pro Christo. The conference gave an opportunity for networking and partnership in an African setting, and offered attendees a chance to become more equipped for ministry.

George Verwer, the main speaker of the event, inspired everyone in his vibrant, enthusiastic manner to grasp every opportunity to extend the Kingdom of God. Several other speakers challenged listeners to become involved in missions. More than 30 workshops were presented by representatives from different ministries and mission organisations. Many workers testified about what the Lord is doing on their various fields, speaking powerfully about challenges they face and the Lord’s faithfulness. Those working amongst the unreached tribes shared their vision to see more come to know Christ.

The conference resulted in new relationships and networks, further financial commitments and new vision for future ministry. Please pray that those serving in Southern Africa would see fruit from their ministry, and more come to know the Lord.

 

CONFERENCIA MISIONERA EN KABWE – Zambia
Más de 100 obreros y 500 delegados del sur de África y alrededor del mundo se reunieron en Zambia para la Conferencia Misionera anual en Kabwe realizada desde el 15 al 18 de Agosto. Aunque esta fue la sexta conferencia, fue también, la primera organizada por OM África/Pro Christo. La conferencia dio la oportunidad para el intercambio y el trabajo en red, en un contexto africano, al mismo tiempo que ofreció a los asistentes una oportunidad de tomar más herramientas para el ministerio.

Jorge Verwer, el principal orador del evento, inspiró a todos en una manera vibrante y entusiasta a tomar cada oportunidad para extender el Reino de Dios. Muchos otros oradores desafiaron a los asistentes a involucrarse en misiones. Más de 30 talleres fueron presentados por representantes de diferentes ministerios y organizaciones misioneras. Muchos obreros testificaron acerca de lo que el Señor está haciendo en diferentes campos, hablando poderosamente de los desafíos que enfrentan y de la fidelidad del Señor. Aquellos que trabajan entre tribus no alcanzadas compartieron su visión de ver a más personas conocer Cristo.

Como resultado de la conferencia se crearon nuevas relaciones y trabajos en red, compromisos financieros más profundos y una nueva visión para el futuro del ministerio. Por favor ora por los que sirven en el sur de África, para que puedan ver frutos de su ministerio y más personas vengan a conocer al Señor.

Bien que ce soit la sixième conférence, c’était la première à être organisée par OM Afrique/PourChrist. La conférence a permis aux participants de se créer un réseau de contact et de partenariat dans un contexte africain, et d’être mieux équipé pour le ministère.

George Verwer, l’orateur principal, a inspiré tout le monde, par la façon enthousiaste et passionnée qu’il a de saisir chaque occasion pour étendre le royaume de Dieu. D’autres orateurs ont mis les participants au défi de s’engager dans la mission. Plus de 30 ateliers étaient exposés par des représentants de différents ministères et organisations missionnaires. Beaucoup d’ouvriers ont pu rendre un témoignage puissant des défis qu’ils ont du affronter, de la fidélité de Dieu et de tout ce qu’Il accomplit dans leur champ missionnaire. Ceux qui travaillent parmi les tribus non-atteintes ont partagé leur vision de voir encore plus de personnes se tourner vers Christ.

Les résultats de cette conférence ont été : de nouvelles relations et contacts, plus d’engagements financiers et une nouvelle vision pour les futurs ministères. Merci de prier afin que les personnes qui servent en Afrique puissent voir le fruit de leur ministère, et pour que toujours plus de personnes viennent au Seigneur.
