About this Event
ENGLISH: The theme of our second annual Diaspora Network Conference is Mutuality in Mission / Juntos en Misión. Immigrant Christians are bringing the riches and vitality of the Global Church here. How can the broader Church in the U.S. receive these gifts? What does it look like to truly partner together around evangelism, prayer, material resources and global mission? This is a conference open to both immigrant churches and leaders and those seeking to learn from and partner with the nations here. The conference begins Friday night with The Nations Worship, an time of music and prayer which is open to the public and gathers immigrant churches from across Austin // ESPAÑOL: El tema de nuestra segunda conferencia anual es Juntos en misión.

Pre-Conference Event: GLOBAL MISSION ROUNDTABLE
We are offering an optional pre-conference lunch and roundtable conversation at Christ Church Austin preceding the Diaspora Network Conference. Rev. Manik Corea from Singapore will be hosting a conversation around the following questions:
- What are the main challenges you face in mobilizing your people to global mission?
- How do we reimagine global mission to be from “everywhere to everywhere” ?
- How do we reimagine mission to unreached people groups when they are “here” in our cities?
- How do we reimagine mission partnerships in light of the growth of the diaspora church?
The roundtable will gather global and local mission leaders and immigrant church pastors and members to share stories and reimagine mission partnerships in light of the growth of the Diaspora Church. Please register for that event seperately here and contact Manik directly ([email protected]) for more info.
