Do not miss this historical event
It is with great delight to inform you that the 50th Anniversary & 14th Triennial Convention of the Asia Missions Association will take place at the Bethel Church of Indonesia of Rose Sharon, Jakarta, Indonesia, from May 22-26, 2023.
The theme of the Convention is “MISSIONS IN THE POST-PANDEMIC ERA: Challenges and Opportunities in the New Normal World.” The AMA believes that mission leaders, scholars, and church leaders will be more aware of the changing environment of global missions in the post-pandemic era and develop new mission strategies for the new normal world through this convention.
We pray and hope that you will be able to come join us for the Convention.
THEME
“MISSIONS IN THE POST-PANDEMIC ERA: Challenges and Opportunities in the New Normal World”
Although the gospel never changes, the world in which we live is constantly undergoing change. The Covid-19 pandemic has amplified and accelerated these changes in a dramatic manner. This brings both challenges and opportunities for kingdom workers in our new world. Our God is a missionary God and we are his co-workers. Certainly, God must have a plan on how to carry on his mission in the new reality we face. The church, which has been commissioned to preach an enduring and unchanging gospel to an ever-changing world must invent innovative mission strategies with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As missions leaders, we are called to discern the will of the Lord and to engage in discussion on how to implement the Lord’s Great Commission together with other continental missions leaders.
