"I enjoyed the practical presentation in the women's ministry classes as well as hearing from the other churches. It was nice to hear...of the different tools that are available to minister to missionaries also...and...to have my eyes opened to the different levels of need."
"I really enjoyed the conference last Saturday and would go again this Saturday if I could. I learned so much and was so inspired."
"Everything I learned was practical and immediately applicable to our situation."

Global Outreach Summit
October 4, 2008
Calvary EFC, Trumbull, CT
Not often do you find experts from EFCA ReachGlobal, ReachNational, and EFCA TouchGlobal along with district and local leaders at the same place focusing on the same theme: reaching lost people for Christ. But the October 4 Global Outreach Summit in Trumbull, CT, will bring together 11 church planters, pastors, and missions experts to discuss strategies and options for your church to engage in local, regional, and international missions. Three tracks will be offered: Short-term missions, Community Crisis Response, and General Missions, so send your missions committees, church boards, staff and others interested in short- or long-term missions and crisis response. For a list of the presenters, workshops and registration information, download the registration form or the bulletin insert. You can also register online. Contact roger.dorris@efca.org with any questions.
