We would like to extend this invitation to you and your spouse to be our guests representing the work in one of our Acts 1:8 harvest fields. During the event, you will hear from SBC leaders discuss the implementation strategies to reach our world for Christ. You will be given ample opportunities to network with other ministry leaders and talk to representatives of IMB, NAMB, IBSA, and CMBA at their display to share highlights of the Acts 1:8 Vision. The purpose of this event is to expose our people to short and long-term mission opportunities, career options, and to potential mission partnerships.
Please respond to this invitation by returning the enclosed questionnaire as soon as possible. You may contact me with any questions at seniorpastor@uptownbaptistchurch.org or by phone at 773-784-2922.
Until all hear,
Michael N. Allen
