Welcome to what has been called one of the most challenging and creative General Assemblies ever held by The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada!
We have long prayed for unreached people groups and for our workers who share ministry with them on a daily basis. Now you can experience this first hand. Through Assembly and in the Road Trips following, you will come face to face with the realities of our international work in the 21st century.
We come to Antalya, Turkey with some specific concepts in mind and these are reflected in our General Assembly theme: Let’s hit the road! Retrace, Renew, Rebuild.
It was here in Antalya region (then called Attalia) that the Apostle Paul walked the Roman roads on what we now call his first missionary journey. So part of our Assembly is aimed to help us “retrace” Paul’s steps both physically and spiritually. Then we are called upon to consider our international work and “renew” our commitment to sharing the good news; to renew our passion for reaching the unreached. Finally, as we face unprecedented challenges globally and with many people groups who have not yet heard that good news in the 21st century, we are asking you to help “rebuild” roads to people all over the globe—including those at home—who have never had the opportunity or been challenged by the gospel. Out of this, we believe, will come new paradigms, new methodologies, new initiatives and new churches.
Missions will become personal at General Assembly 2010.
You will have the opportunity to hear from our workers and see their ministry first-hand. Take advantage of the many road trips we are offering. They will not only supplement your General Assembly experience, they will explode a new desire in your heart to commit yourself to the lost. You will be on the front lines with our international workers—hear from them, see their ministries at work, meet the people they work with, experience their challenges. No words or pictures seen in the comfort of your own home or in a Canadian church setting can even compare with the opportunity you will have. And, I believe you will come home changed. Your heart will be moved in a way you never thought possible.
The Antalya Assembly I believe will be pivotal in the life of each individual attending, each church and district represented, and finally in the ongoing vision of the denomination.
Let’s hit the road together!
