You are invited to attend some or all of Elmbrook Church's annual conference on global mission, "Harvestfest." This annual event has been a true catalyst for informing, inspiring, and involving people in local and global mission. This year will be a unique opportunity for leaders of many different churches to gain a new global perspective and to learn ways to motivate congregations in their unique mission.
This year's Harvestfest will center around a historic global event: Cape Town 2010: The Third Global Congress on World Evangelization. Using near real-time video technology, we will be showing the major addresses coming out of Cape Town, and will use guest international leaders and missionaries as panelists responding to the issues. [What global leaders are saying...]
We invite you to attend as many sessions as you would like in two venues:
"Harvestfest" (the evening programs): 7pm-8:30pm, M,T,W,Th, Oct. 18, 19, 20, 21; Elmbrook sanctuary
"Harvestfest Global Conversations": 75 minute open forums; Elmbrook Fellowship Hall
The eight "Harvestfest Global Conversations" will each include a video feed of one of the addresses coming out of Cape Town, and will engage us in a highly interactive dialogue with a panel of international guests and missionaries coming to us from all over the world: Romania, Rwanda, Argentina, Germany, Nigeria, Haiti, the Philippines, and more.
