We are really excited to see many of you at the Covenant Midwinter Conference that will take place in early February in San Diego. Here are a few workshops related to World Mission which you might consider attending. We hope to see you there!

005 | Preaching a “Glocal” Vision
To be the church in the age of globalization requires us to re-frame our understanding and practice of mission. More specifically, it requires us to understand the relationship between global and local mission. The question for this workshop is, “How does this new understanding of a “glocal” vision inform our preaching?”

110 | Peace & Justice in the Holy Land: Christians Seeking Reconciliation at the Heart of the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has raged for more than half a century. Historical narratives of deep pain and suffering continue to play out in the region today. This workshop will focus on the history of Christian engagement in the Holy Land and the role of Christ followers in pursuit of reconciliation and justice. Learn about organizations and individuals working to make a positive difference in the Holy Land while seeking to discern how God might be calling all of us to be advocates of peace and justice in the midst of conflict.

Mae Cannon, senior director of advocacy & outreach
Gary Burge, professor of New Testament – Wheaton College

111 | Serving Globally at Home
The shrinking of our planet and the emergence of relational highways provides local churches with unprecedented potential for global impact; beginning with Pastor Chamron Phal’s inspiring story of survival in the killing fields of Cambodia, and his subsequent ministry sharing the Gospel and planting churches in his homeland, including among his former Khmer Rouge communist soldiers. In this workshop we will demonstrate how a church (of any size) can connect with and support Kingdom ministry in another part of the world.

Plans for the Covenant World Mission Conference 2009 (Jan 31st – Feb 2nd) in Chicago, IL are taking shape. Covenant World Mission is gathering mission-minded pastors, church leaders and missionaries together for a weekend of dialogue, education, networking, and worship. In the context of the conference, participants will be challenged to think through key issues and opportunities related to leadership of and participation in mission and ministry that address the needs of the whole person. The intent is to draw all into conversation about healthy global relationships, as well as understanding how to be a catalyst for change in local communities.
