Converge International Ministries is asking God for a gospel movement among every least-reached people group ― in our generation. And God is answering.
During the Launch global worker orientation and training September 15-17 in Orlando, Florida, there was a dual level of diversity both ethnically and in ministry. The six missionary appointees commissioned during Launch are European, Asian and African heritage workers. They will be reaching the least-reached, teaching local believers in Ivory Coast, empowering the church in Asia for gospel movements and engaging Converge churches in the U.S. toward global gospel impact. The three-day event helped prepare and empower these global workers to build their ministry partnership teams.
Meet our new appointees:
- Barb Ehlers, Willow Creek Community Church, South Barrington, Illinois; U.S. Engagement Team, US-based
- Sublime & Rachel Mabiala, First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Upper Marlboro, Maryland; Ivory Coast, West Africa
- B-K, Heartland Church (Converge MidAmerica District), Indianapolis, Indiana, Spice Island Initiative
- Phu Pham, Converge Viet Church of Fairfax (Converge MidAtlantic), Fairfax, Virginia; Asia Regional Impact Team, US-based
It takes many people to launch a global worker into the mission field: family, churches, partners and Converge. This orientation and training is the first step as appointees move toward deployment. We would also like to celebrate those who have successfully walked through the Ministry Partnership Development (MPD) process and recently deployed to their fields of service.
