Want to Learn More about Missions Opportunities?

Two Here Am I weekends have been scheduled. The first is May 13-14 at the New Beginnings Church of God in Decatur, IL. The second will be May 20-21 at the Christian Ministries Center in Findlay, OH. These informational events are designed for persons who want to know more about possibly serving in a cross-cultural context. Participants will discover answers to such questions as...
  • What is the current state of Christianity in the world?
  • What is happening in CGGC missions?
  • What are the opportunities where missionaries are needed?
  • How do I know if I'm called to be a missionary?
  • Am I "qualified" to serve?
  • Where can my mix of spiritual gifts, skills and personality be utilized?
  • How can I best prepare for missionary service?
  • What if I don't want to commit to a lifetime of serving overseas?
  • What are the unique challenges facing missionaries in today's world?
  • What are the next steps I need to take?
The schedule begins at 7pm on Friday and concludes by 2pm on Saturday. The registration cost for the weekend is only $25--whether a single person or married couple--just to cover some resources for each participant. Friday night lodging will be provided to those persons living outside the immediate area, plus snacks and one meal on Saturday.

Participating in a "Here Am I" weekend does not obligate anyone. Persons may not be ready to say, "Here am I--send me!" (as Isaiah did). That's okay. We just want to assist you in making a more informed decision--either now or later.

The reservation deadline is April 30th. You may download a registration "Here Am I" form and return it with your $25 fee.
