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.
