In December of 2013, a new student missions conference will be launched. Check out the website here. Read the vision statement below. It's a good one.
Over the past few years several pastors and church leaders, quite independently from each other, began to feel a burden for a new student missions conference that would trumpet the global majesty of God’s sovereign grace, the gospel passion of Christ to rescue people from eternal suffering, and the remaining task of planting the church among the unreached and unengaged peoples of the world.
The Cross Leadership Team is the result of this burden and vision. From different backgrounds and with different ministry experiences we have come together for this purpose. We are not a church. We are not a new campus ministry. We are not an offshoot of any existing ministry, as thankful as we are for so many likeminded movements and organizations. Our aim is simpler and more focused: We want to host a conference that, we pray, may be used of God to mobilize students in the cause of frontier missions for the global glory of Jesus Christ. That’s our passion our purpose.
