The Int’l
Society for Frontier
Missiology 2011
Conference

The
Call of the Kingdom:
Resetting Church and Mission
Across the Frontiers
September
27 – 29, 2011
Phoenix,
Arizona
The ISFM will
be held in conjunction
with the North
American Mission
Leaders Conference (NAMLC),
to be held in the
same hotel venue
the following weekend,
Sept 29-Oct 1
The
terms ‘Kingdom’ and ‘Church’ are
contested in mission
today, but they are
catalyzing exceptional
ministries across
religious and cultural
frontiers. The prism
of contemporary Kingdom
interpretation includes
the transformation
of societies, bringing
justice to the nations,
and the eradication
of evil. A younger
generation in mission
marches to this Kingdom
cadence, opting for
new models of community,
deeper devotion, and
more holistic service. How does this rising Kingdom commitment intersect with the emerging church movements we see and expect to see on the frontiers?
At ISFM 2011 a range
of international speakers
will explore the interface
of Kingdom, Church
and Mission in frontier
settings across the
globe, setting a framework
for interaction among
participants. Students
and younger adults
are especially welcome.
Registration:
General
$50, Students $25
