The Urbancrest Missions Conference Starts In...
PRAY | GIVE | GO | SEND
"Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!"
John 4:35 (NKJV)
To behold means to look intently and specifically at something. Jesus reminds each one of us to lift up our eyes to look specifically and intently at the harvest, the people He puts right in front of us.
Now that our Missions Conference is here, we have the opportunity to behold, see and celebrate what the Lord is doing locally, nationally and internationally. Come and join this wonderful opportunity to hear our Missionaries report on how God is working.
Our Missions Conference theme for 2023 is...
