SGI Conference

Student Global Impact National Conference 2012

The 2012 SGI National Conference magnified Christ’s name by displaying and proclaiming the wonderful and amazing work God is doing to call people from every nation to serve him. The conference inspired in all who attended a desire to go out and spread Christ’s name. Inter-City Baptist Church in Allen Park, Michigan has made the conference available to all interested in missions through the incredible generosity of its people. Several members of our Sunday school class were able to attend this year’s conference and each one of us greatly benefited from the powerful preaching of God’s word and from the helpful workshops focusing on specific aspects of Christ’s work in the world.

Dr. Doran, Senior Pastor, InnerCity Baptist Church

This year’s conference featured a number of general sessions starting with the opening meeting on Tuesday evening (Jan. 3), and finishing with the closing service on Thursday evening. In these services Steve Pettit, Dave Doran, Dan Brooks, and others opened God’s word and encouraged the saints in gospel proclamation. Between services, a wide variety of workshops highlighted particular facets of missions such as cross-cultural communications, literacy and linguistics, technology in ministry, training nationals, mentoring ladies in Kenya, teaching English as a ministry, current trends in missions, frontiers for limited access countries, and many others. The SGI conference demonstrated to all who attended the enormous need for missions in the world and the wide-open opportunities to serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. God is doing a phenomenal work in the world through his people so that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy!
