The Global Encounter is your opportunity to experience the World Mission Conference in an online format.  The Global Encounter is a multilingual, cross-cultural event that celebrates International Ministries’ 210th anniversary with  presentations from global servants and partners, international music and worship, and interactive elements to engage the participants.

Each Global Encounter session is 90-minutes long.  They will be held LIVE online on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at 7:00pm EDT and Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at 8:00am EDT.  When you register, you can choose to attend one or both sessions.  To see the list of who is involved in each session, click on “Meet the Speakers” in the Global Encounter Resources section.

Recordings of each session will be accessible to registrants within 24 hours.

The Global Encounter is not something you sit and watch.  It will engage your heart, mind and body through the music and worship, interactive games, quizzes and polls.

Consider hosting a Watch Party in your home or at church and introduce others to global mission work.  Sign up by May 1 and receive a snack box for your party.

Immediately following each Global Encounter are opportunities for you to interact directly with the global servants through a variety of Breakout Sessions.  And two weeks later you can take a deep dive into several topics and ministries featured in a series of workshops offered on June 4, 5 and 8.

Explore our Global Encounter Resources for more information on how to enhance your experience during the event.
