2023 Water Advance with Dr. M
March 10-11, 2023
Conversation Partners: Mystery Guest
We have a special mystery guest and conversation partner for our next Pacific Advance, 10, 11 March 2023. He needs to remain unnamed and unidentified because of the work he is doing for the gospel in some of the most dangerous and persecutory regions of our world.
What I can say that will not endanger his ministry is that Dr. M has served as a university professor and pastor before beginning work in a Middle East context. Currently, in addition to serving as Strategic Initiative Coordinator for a denomination I know well, he works with multiple networks and denominations located throughout the 10-40 window in creative access areas where the gospel is restricted or illegal. Using an applied, organic discipleship multiplication method, in last four years alone, he has seen hundreds of new churches planted and thousands of new believers located in some of the most difficult areas on earth. These ideas have also had a transformational impact on churches operating in a non-restrictive environment as believers have refocused their priorities from building membership and activities within their church walls to multiplying disciples in the communities where God has sent them.
I have so much to learn from this man of God. I can’t wait for you to be a part of this unusual conversation on how to do ministry in a post-Christian, anti-Christian world among people who despise Christianity but are hungry for God.
*The cost of each Advance includes all registration fees and six meals for the two days. Each Advance begins with breakfast on the first morning, and concludes with supper and after-dinner conversation on the second evening. You are responsible for your own housing, although we are available to help you find lodging and make recommendations.
