  • Technology & Missions - Panel Discussion
    Location
    :
    Description: I’m an Engineering major, what options are there for me beyond working for an Engineer Company? Is there such a thing as “desk job” in missions? Will I be able to do the things I’ve been trained to do as an EE, ME, CE, or MJE. I’m a Computer Science major – what can I do to help the spread of the Gospel.

    Panel Members: Representatives from Galcom International, Indigitous, and SonSet

  • Compelled to Help In the Midst of Chaos - Panel Discussion

  • Committed to the Unreached Amongst Us - Panel Discussion
    Location
    :
    Description:  Did you know that there are large groups of unreached people groups living right here – some of them even next door.

    Panel Members: TBA

 

7:30 - 8:45 PM

  • Aviation Ministry - Panel Discussion
    Location:

  • Compelled to Help Heal - Panel Discussion
    Location:

  • Convinced of the Call - Panel Discussion
    Location:
    Description:
      How do I know if God is calling me into Missions? My parents say people need Jesus here, so why do some people go to far way places? How to I explain to others that this what I must do?
