Missions KidsThe Alliance has a rich heritage of reaching into the dark places of this world with the message of Jesus. So what does that look like? Are we going to the least reached areas of the globe and closing in on the ultimate goal of fulfilling Jesus’ command in Matthew 28?

Car BargeAnswering this question, Bob Fetherlin, vice president of International Ministries asks, “If we could make a fresh start today, to what countries would we go? To what countries would we not go?”

The Alliance is moving forward to embrace a new vision for missions that will bring us closer to “bringing back the King.” Bob continues, “This vision will be carried out over these next four years by birthing one U.S. Alliance initiative per year among one of the people groups living in overwhelming darkness.”

To promote this vision, we have prepared the following materials. Missions Conference Promo Kits, Bible studies and missions papers, and external internet links designed to help you advance Alliance missions initiatives in your church and community. And if you are a local church looking to partner with a specific international worker, you can learn more about ministry partnerships.

Missions Conference Promotion Kit

2009 postersHere is everything related to producing an Alliance Missions Conference. In July of each year, we mail a Missions Conference Promotion Kit to every church. This informs you of the year’s missions emphasis as well as to provide promotional resources for your church to use.

The links on the right will take you to a given year’s missions emphasis. On those pages you will find downloads of the various themed resources such as posters, bulletin covers, Faith Promise cards, PowerPoint presentations, and videos.

Additionally, you can follow the following links to answer questions related to having a successful event:

It’s our hope that you will feel empowered to share with your church what The Alliance is accomplishing for God’s Kingdom around the world. We are always seeking feedback about Missions Conference materials and resources. If you have any questions or suggestions, contact Jean Burch at (719) 265-2016 or burchj@cmalliance.org.

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.

Serve.

Is God calling you to full-time service? Do you want to experience missions firsthand by participating in a short-term missions trip? We want to help you connect your passion with God’s purpose.
