We invite you to join us in Sunriver, where we will deepen our connection with God and explore opportunities to participate in the Great Commission on September 28-October 1, 2023 (Thursday-Sunday).
East-West exists to glorify God by multiplying followers of Jesus in the spiritually darkest areas of the world. This task requires the whole Church going to the whole world—reaching the lost with the good news of Jesus. Our time will be filled with encouraging testimonies and stories from East-West frontline missionaries and key leadership as well as times of worship.
Our prayer for our time together is that God would be glorified and stir the affections of your heart into deeper relationship with Him, motivating you to fulfill your role in the Great Commission.
