The conference will encourage Christians to look at the world through strategic eyes, identifying world mission hotspots, major roleplayers and significant trends and events that shape the world.
The conference will be relevant to all Christians, not just “missions people”, says Andrew Richards, of INContext Ministries.

” In one way or another, a changing world will catch up with everyone of us. The only way we can be prepared for this, is by educating ourselves beforehand,” he says.
Global trends that will be highlighted include the global shift of Christianity, the geographical shift of Islam, compromising faith in the West, declining faith in Europe and freedom of faith in Asia.
The speakers, who are all highly experienced in their fields include Dr Dudley Woodbury, a professor of Islamic Studies; Johnny Li, former gangster and now serving missionaries in China; Daniel Shayestah, the former Hezbollah leader who will share his dramatic testimony; and OM Worship Leader Bill Drake who will talk on the role of worship and the arts in mission.
INContext Ministries was established last year by Mike Burnard who has been full time in missions for more than 30 years of which the last 23 years was with Open Doors, serving persecuted Christians worldwide.
