Those who attend the BBFI Korea 2016 Global Meeting will see for themselves the enormity of what God is doing on a worldwide scale. When you attend, you will join people and pastors from around the world — those whose lives have been impacted through the ministries of our missionaries and the churches who sent them. You do not want to miss this opportunity; rather you should make plans to take part, to “Lift Up Your Eyes and Look!” just as the meeting theme urges.
Look Upward | See God’s love for the harvest | Monday PM
Look Outward | See the needs of the harvest | Tuesday AM & PM
Look Inward | See yourself in the harvest | Wednesday AM & PM
Look Forward | See the harvest reached together | Thursday AM & PM
Speakers from around the world will share what God is doing in their regions and challenge us to do even more in missions. You will be encouraged by special presentations and music. The Korean pastors and churches are already preparing for the event — you won’t want to miss it!
Seoul, the capital city of Korea with over 600 years of history, has a population of over 25 million people. This metropolis is the business and cultural hub of South Korea where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take in the views from the Seoul Tower built atop a mountain peak and enjoy the distinct Korean flavors in one of its many teahouses and shops. Museums and authentic, ancient palaces are some of the fascinating places you can visit.
The BBFI Korea 2016 meeting has reserved space for 3,200 people in the Kintex International Conference Center. Check out the facility online at www.kintex.com and click on “English” in the top right corner of the homepage.
How can you plan for this meeting? Watch for the promotional video from the BBFI Mission Office and show it to your church. Visit the website www.bbfikorea2016.com for more information and to register online. A travel package with the Mission Office will be available soon.
Following are some suggestions to consider:
- Send your pastor and his wife
- Send a group on a mission trip
- Help send your missionary if you are a sending church
- Help send a national pastor of one of your missionaries
- Send your state chairman and/or state national director
Missionary efforts will be multiplied in the countries represented. Pastors and leaders from around the world will be encouraged and inspired to return home and share in the responsibility of carrying out the Great Commission. These were the results seen following the Cebu Global Meeting in 2011, and we anticipate the same outcome from Korea 2016. Come be a part of this meeting and encourage our partners from around the globe to join us in the Great Commission. I know you will be blessed beyond measure.
