INDIGITOUS US 7/14/23: Full of Summer happenings

🎙️Exhorting Each Other

We took a team to Amsterdam2023, a global conference regarding the new era of evangelism. We connected with great partners, meeting with the CEO of YouVersion, and leaders from Christian Vision! Along with 132 other speakers, we hosted a seminar about our unfinished task of searching for everyONE. It was incredible to worship and cast vision with the 5,000+ in-person individuals from over 125 nations, and thousands of online viewers joining rom 150 countries around the world!

We also led two workshops at the virtual Association of Christians Ministering among Internationals (ACMI) conference. We featured a panel of international students who spoke about their American experiences and a session for ministry leaders to sustain relationships with returning students through digital discipleship.

We are praying for: 

  • Back-to-back July travels to several cities in California, New York, and Southeast Asia
  • Refreshing joy in sharing vision with brothers and sisters
  • Physical energy and strength to be present with new and old loved ones
