Who Should Attend: Hope for the Nations is for anyone considering a call to short-term, mid-term, or long-term frontier missions. By “frontier missions,” we mean people groups (ethnic nations) where there is not yet a viable or visible church. This conference is also for laity, the average person in the pew, who want to learn more about sharing Jesus and making disciples among unengaged and unevangelized people groups and nations. Therefore, AFM warmly invites all Christians, including mission committee members, clergy, and rectors (senior pastors) who desire to understand the progress the gospel’s made over the last 2,000 years and the areas and people groups still devoid of Christian presence.

Hope for the Nations this year will focus on strategic and fervent intercessory prayer, the foundation of reaching any people group with the Gospel. Participants will learn how to pray more effectively, strategically, and fruitfully for frontier people groups around the world which they will be able to apply to their own cultural context. One highlight will be our Tuesday night Concert of Prayer where we intercede after hearing from an Anglican bishop who ministers to Christians from a Muslim Background.

Thus, AFM warmly invites you to join our missionaries from southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, other regions, and even AFM cross-cultural workers ministering in the United States. You will come away encouraged to be a bolder and more faithful witness of Jesus Christ.
