Last week several CCLF team members attended the International Conference on Missions (ICOM), held this year in the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio. Thousands of missionaries, vocational church workers, and church members from around the world gathered at ICOM to share their stories, encourage one another, pray for a global harvest, and consider strategic ways to take the gospel to the unreached.

If you've not had the opportunity to participate in this great, global gathering with its focus on world evangelism, we encourage you to do so. The next ICOM gathering will be held November 15-19, 2023 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We hope to see you there!
