Our annual missions conference has multiple purposes:
1. To strengthen our church family’s genuine partnership with the missionaries that we support through challenging preaching and live, “in person” reports from the field.
2. To pray, not just for our missions partners, but WITH them. What a joy!
3. To spiritually refresh those BCLR missions partners who will be in attendance through robust preaching. It’s our turn to feed the shepherds who feed others. This year we are hoping to have with us two families from India, one from China & one from inner city church planting.
All the 2010 Missions Conference Sermon Audio is now available here.
Pastor John Glass
Our guest speaker this year is Pastor John Glass of Geneva, Switzerland. After 22 years as a missionary in France, and 12 of those years where John served as pastor in Geneva (his home-town), John has started a new International French-speaking church in Geneva, Switzerland, the Eglise Evangélique Internationale de Genève. John also has a local weekly radio program called “More Precious than Gold” where his sermons can be heard in full. Also, his first book came out, 9-11-01 Pourquoi? (9-11 Why?) a 64 page book on the biblical perspective on the Twin Towers Tragedy in New York. John and his wife Meg have three children. You can read more about them here and read their latest newsletter.
