Over the past half-century, evangelical missions have adopted secular methods and strategies, often turning to anthropology, sociology, and other fields for guidance rather than relying solely on Scripture. This shift has led to compromises that dilute biblical faithfulness, causing mission leaders to stray from the true authority of God's Word.

As we approach the 2025 International Symposium, we recognize the need for reform in the global evangelical missions movement. Scripture must once again take its rightful place as the foundation for every missions effort. We must recommit ourselves to advancing the Great Commission under the authority of God's Word alone, rejecting the temptation to rely on human wisdom or cultural adaptations.

Join us as we explore the essential principles, priorities, and practices of biblical missions. Hear from pastors and missionaries who are faithfully applying the truths of Scripture to their ministry and learn how your church can grow even more, equipping itself to become a sending church. Together, we will be reminded of the biblical mandate for local churches to faithfully send and reproduce, all for the glory of God and the salvation of the nations.
