Go conference
FEBRUARY 25TH-26TH
“Go on up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good news; lift it up, fear not; say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”
– Isaiah 40:9
A CELEBRATION OF MISSIONS AND EVANGELISM
We believe one of the key characteristics of a healthy disciple of Jesus Christ is going with the Gospel. God has called all His children to share the Gospel boldly, expecting Him to bring to faith those who hear the Gospel, and to make disciples of those whom God saves. In order to encourage and facilitate broad involvement in going with the Gospel, First Baptist Powell offers a variety of missional opportunities here (local), near (North America), and far (international).
The Go Conference is a celebration of missions and evangelism. It allows the members of First Baptist Powell to meet many of our mission partners who serve locally, in other parts of the United States, and around the world. As a church, we directly partner with over 30 organizations and family groups, providing financial, physical, spiritual, and emotional support. We commission 15-20 Go Teams a year to various parts of the world, seeking to bring unbelievers into a saving relationship with Christ.
Join us February 25th-26th as we honor what God has done through First Baptist Powell in the work of missions and evangelism and prepare for what is to come this year!
