Mission Learning Center

On May 1- 3 in Hamilton, Alabama, at the Maywood Christian Camp, an estimated 100 missionaries and mission-positive people will meet to give/hear lectures on different aspects of missions and church growth and activities. This Missionary Workshop and Retreat will be the second year in a row that this group has met to discuss common problems and hear reports from the field and works of these missionaries, some giving a lifetime of effort to spread the Word of the Lord.

My topic this year will be "The Visualized Church in 2008...and Beyond." I will be talking about the church in America as well as visualizing a new church in the mission field. This talk was derived from some of the things we learned in our 2006 study on the Decline of the Church Membership. It will try to leverage that information into a practical 'working' church, which indeed the Lord may have envisioned when He said, "I will build my church." It is not a passive talk, because the Lord did not establish a passive, virtually 'out of sight' organization who did not work or teach or plant other churches. His word is too clear for us to believe that.

Others on the program will speak on their specialized interests and will include the following men: Don Norwood, James Jones, Gordon Hogan, Colin McKee, Randal Matheny, Claude Lewis, Loy Mitchell, Ken Wilkey, and Jeremy Barrier. Special classes for the young at heart taught by Jeremy and Joey Barrier.
