Welcome to MissionConnexion Northwest 2025Come Together Go Further!Ecclesiastes 4:9 says: “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor.” The same is true in our cross-cultural efforts. Solomon reects on how futile so much in life is, but when we collaborate with others, so much more can be accomplished. Our unprivileged partnership with the local church here and overseas is central. How we co-labor with other like-minded groups, and those who support us will determine if we are sustainable to “go further” taking the gospel to those without it. Keynote speakers helping us this year include Patrice Tsague, Randy Remington, Matthew Ellison, and Michelle Atwell, and they’re joined by over 90 workshops and 100 mission agency exhibitors. We hope your coming together with us will help you go further wherever God leads!Bill MacLeod Director, MissionConnexionWelcome to MissionConnexion!

18 | WINTER 2025Taking “Next Steps” after MissionConnexionCome learn more at the “Next Steps and Big Choices” WorkshopThe world’s problems can seem overwhelming and daunting at times. As followers of Jesus, we desire to jump in and serve but many times we struggle with questions of where do I serve? How? What capacity? Will I have enough time? Can I use my work-related skills and gifts to bless others? This conference is designed with the desire to help you to have clarity and discernment in where you believe God may be leading you. Some people are sure of their missions-related role and that is great. We hope you nd a number of resources to help you on your journey. Others are not sure of what their role is at this stage of life and for the future. Those of us working together for this conference are committed to see tangible, God-honoring results. We have been praying regularly that God would use this time to speak to you and that you would then take the “next steps” as a result of this time together.We have identied six areas of missions-related roles that are possible “next steps”. Learner, Pray-er, Mobilizer, Sender, Welcomer and Goer. In order to make this as practical as possible we have scheduled a time block for each person to attend a workshop on one of these six areas.Our prayer and desire is that each person would be seeking God’s direction while going through the various sessions of this conference, giving some prayerful thought to which of these six sessions would be the best t.More will be explained during the conference. Included below are some questions that may help in determining your possible “next steps”.Am I a Sender… with a great concern for the lost of this world, a desire to use my resources to see people be sent to share the gospel and willingness to learn to sacrice in order that the good news of Jesus’ love and redemption can be sent out around the world? Am I a Learner… with a sense that God is leading me to a future Great Commission role but realizing that right now I need to be serious about deepening my relationship with Jesus, studying and learning from the word of God and learn “…what is God doing in the world today…” while seeking what role He has for me to reach the unreached for Christ. Am I a Welcomer… with a passion to engage with people who are coming to America from other cultures, to see this as a way to show the love of Jesus and to share with them the plan of salvation, to commit my time and energy to these relationships, seeing this as the same level of commitment made by those called to minister in another country and culture? Am I a Pray-er… with a God-given passion to pray for the unreached, to pray for more workers for the harvest, to pray for workers I know, to pray for God’s will to be done on earth with a willingness to make prayer a priority time commitment?Am I a Goer… with a willingness to humble myself to learn how to lovingly and sacricially cross cultures to live in such a way so others can hear the good news of Jesus, being passionate for the cause of Christ, prayerful and determined to be obedient - no matter what the cost - and willing to prepare well?Am I a Mobilizer… with a great desire to help people nd their calling, encourage others, help them with guidance, direction, and a listening ear, willing to pray with them and for them and to stand with them in their difculties and their victories and help see the local church mobilized into greater service for the Kingdom of God?

It colors our relationships and can even create an unconscious agenda. Do you know your “why?”Family Mission Trips Without CompromiseTory Ruark, MissionExcellence DirectorMissionWorksThere is a place for families on mission trips, but it has to be done well so we don’t compromise the ministry role of the parents or our host’s ministry. This Ignite Talk will be the catalyst for a discussion on how to do family mission trips well.Room 2126 Characteristics of Effective Short-Term Mission PartnershipsRob Thompson, Director of Ministry DevelopmentReciprocal Ministries InternationalGod has not made us the same body part, but He has made us part of the same body! Too often what we say are relationships are really one-directional wish fulllment interactions. We’ll look at how to build meaning relationships with people who are different than us for the benet of both of us.Room 212Global Safety & SecurityBill Pope, PresidentMissionSafeMission trips come with inherent risk, but how do you take care of your people? We’ll address the idea of “duty of care” for those going on mission trips and risk mitigation for those sending others on mission trips.Room 212Mission Trip Training for the GoerKathy Mort, MissionExcellence Curriculum & Training DirectorMissionWorksThis workshop outlines essential topics to be covered for a mission trip before you go and ways to make the training engaging, where your participants actually want to come!Do Words Matter?Dale Lusk, International Director - Global EngagementsEvangelical Covenant ChurchYou’ll be challenged to think about how your words and descriptions are perceived by others and set expectations--both good and bad. How can you honor God, your hosts, and those you serve even in the way you describe and talk about your trips?Can Teenagers Really Be Missionaries?Ryan Hurlburt, Assistant DirectorCultureLinkAre you afraid to take students on a mission trip? Not sure who would host them or what they could contribute? Let’s think together about how everyone can benet from getting youth actively involved in missions.Room 2137 Dirty Words of Short-Term MissionsDale Lusk, International Director - Global EngagementsEvangelical Covenant ChurchIn the old days, people said, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” But the terms we use to describe our mission trips to our churches, teams and global partners reveal what we really think our trip is all about. Do we need to think and speak differently?Room 213Mission MakeoverNathan Nelson, Pastor of Mission & OutreachBethany Community ChurchThe church today needs to recenter the suffering of the most vulnerable near and far to be as core to its mission as it was for Jesus. If your church’s mission identity has been reduced to a once a year trip or mere handouts, come to consider how kingdom flourishing can be at the heart of every facet of your ministry.Room 213Purposefully Designing with Your Partner Ryan Hurlburt, CultureLinkThis workshop will help you work with your partner to design a trip based around a shared purpose rather than the agenda of one partner.

Room 172Women and the Great Commission: Serving and Caring Well for WomenDenise BeckVelvet AshesDespite 70% of cross-cultural workers being women, few longevity efforts address their unique needs. This workshop provides tools for those who send and serve with women in the eld. We’ll explore supporting women who lead and helping women navigate life’s stresses in cultures that often devalue them, offering practical insights and actionable takeaways.Let’s Talk About It: Eleven Areas of Concern for Cross-Cultural Workers on the Field Amy Young, MA, LPCGlobal TrellisA disconnect often exists between those who send Great Commission Workers and the workers themselves. To understand this, Global Trellis conducted an anonymous survey in January 2024 on the challenges cross-cultural workers face. Don’t miss what we learned!Smelling Like Sheep: God’s Design for Missionary CareJosh BeckBaranabas InternationalCaring for missionaries is a challenging task. How you provide care is crucial, but who you are becoming in the process is even more important for the flourishing of those you serve. Often, we need to slow down to align with God’s work in us and through us. Shepherding is a key biblical analogy for leading and caring for others. A good Biblical grounding in a theology of shepherding can revolutionize how you care for those who go.Room 172What Does Soul Care Look Like in Eleven Areas of Concern?Amy Young, MA, LPCGlobal TrellisIn the session we painted the big picture of eleven areas of concern for many cross-cultural workers. In this workshop we will go granular and explore what soul care looks like in each area and what you can do to help foster soul care for those you work with.Room 172Best Practices for Member Care Through the Local ChurchTerry JacksonBarnabas InternationalThis workshop will explore essential local church practices to promote missionary vitality and church vibrancy. With insightful presentations, collaborative discussions, and lively interactions, participants will examine the opportunities and challenges of member care. Together, we’ll foster a shared learning environment to navigate and lead in our ever-evolving global context.Room 174Creative Care for Cross Cultural Workers Ericka HarrisOasis Rest InternationalHow many losses are common to a missionary? More than we think! In this workshop, we’ll identify losses that are often overlooked and use creative reflective activities as a tool for caring for cross-cultural workers (and their children from kindergarten to young adults.)Room 174How to Support and Care for the Missionary FamilyLori JacksonBarnabas International“”Living on Mission”” affects the entire family. Sending families to the mission eld can lead to both positive impact and signicant challenges. Research indicates that many TCKs (third culture kids) are struggling. Join us as we explore this research and discover ways to help families thrive during their cross-cultural experiences.Room 174What’s In a Name? The Terminology of Stress and TraumaBarney M. Davis, Jr., M.D.Barnabas InternationalTrying to determine how I’m stressed is stressing me out.
