Mission Surge Conference

The Mission Surge Conference is rapidly approaching. I hope that you are looking forward to it, planning to attend, and inviting others to come with you.

We will be spending the entire weekend discussing the power of the Gospel and how the Gospel impacts individuals, families, churches, and the world. Romans 1:16 really sums up the theme of the whole conference: For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ESV

This is what missions is all about: the Gospel. The Gospel is not a power, but THE power of God for salvation. The Gospel makes an impact and an impact makes waves, it sends ripples, it surges outward. This is where the name Mission Surge came from. The Gospel surges outward through individuals, families, churches, and to the very ends of the earth. And when the Gospel works in this way, it has maximum impact; maximum power.

This weekend you will hear messages that exalt Christ and the true Gospel. You will hear messages that reveal how the Gospel applies to the individual, the family, the church, the community, and the world. You will hear from area pastors like Dr. Greg Belser, Dr. Justin McClendon, Dr. Paul Young, Pastor Buddy Sheriff, and myself. You will hear from pastors who are planting churches as far away as Nevada like Neal Creecy. You will hear from pastors written popular books on leading families and making disciples of our children like Jerry Marcellino. You will hear from missionaries who have invested their lives in places like the Dominican Republic like Gene Pickern and during the breaks you will get to browse tables that display prayer needs and ministry opportunities from the U.S. to the ends of the earth. It is going to be a big weekend at Cleary and I hope you are looking forward to it!

You will also have an opportunity to learn about a brand new ministry that is seeking to impact individuals, families, churches, and the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You will learn what this ministry is seeking to do and how you can be personally involved. You will be the FIRST to be given a brand new website address so that you can research, pray for, and get involved in this new ministry that has the potential to make a difference in lives for God’s glory.

The conference is free. You do not have to register to attend. We simply ask that you give a love gift to help show the men who are preaching your appreciation. You will have an opportunity to give through an offering on Friday night and Saturday night during the services. If you cannot make those 2 services, a box will be available for you to place your offerings in.  A nursery will be available for children 0 to 3 years old Friday night and Saturday. Sunday morning, we will have nursery and children’s church for those up to 5 years.  A lunch will be provided on Saturday for those in attendance, but supper will be on your own....and it is all free of charge.
