"Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,
rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving."
- Colossians 2:6-7

All Saints’ annual missions conference seeks to bring together the body of Christ in order to see and be shaped by God’s work in the world. We believe that missions applies to everyone - those far and those near. God’s story of redemption begins in Genesis and he continues to write that story with us today. Whether in Peru, Colombia, Poland, Japan, or Austin, TX, as Christians, our primary mission is to participate in God’s mission of restoring all the world to right relationship with Him and with one another. We do that through worship, through serving one another, and through entering into formative, mutually life-giving relationships with others.
Some are called to go and to be salt and light to the nations from within those nations, to plant worshipping bodies of believers, and to form these life-giving relationships within communities in other parts of the world. At the missions conference this year, you’ll have the opportunity to hear from two of our global partners who have been faithfully living out this call on their lives.
Drew Jennings and his wife, Ann, will be joining us to share about their work in Colombia with the organization, Memoria Indigena. Missionary and Pastor, Wes Baker will also be speaking about his decades of work building one corner of the city of God in Trujillo, Peru through Peru Mission.
