Jesus and Evangelical Power
Welcome to the Global Church Conference, a forum for all to come listen to and learn from voices from the Majority World. Our international speakers from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East will help us consider the meaning of power as revealed in Jesus Christ and expressed in the contemporary church – in North America and in the Majority World. In particular, how do the actions of American evangelicals clarify or distort the gospel? How do they sound in Africa, Asia, and Latin America? What do brothers and sisters in the Majority World believe Christians in North America need to understand and be or do in order to more faithfully serve Jesus Christ? This conference is an extraordinary opportunity for critical reflection, meaningful conversation, and global friendship.
