“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)

 The Field Missionary Retreat is upon us again. It is a once-in-five-years gathering that promises to be a time of rest, renewal, and re-equipping for our collective mission task. As we journey through the challenges and triumphs of missionary work, Field Missionary Retreat provides a vital opportunity to step back, recharge, and refocus on the mission to which God has called us.

As missionaries, irrespective of our cadre and engagement, our lives and ministries are deeply rooted in the example set by Jesus Christ. He is our ultimate model in every aspect—our work, our service, and our devotion. In light of this, the theme for the Field Missionary Retreat 2024, “Jesus, the Model,” calls us to reflect on how we can align our lives more closely with His example.

This year’s retreat is designed not only to provide rest but also to equip missionaries with resources they need to face the evolving challenges of the mission field. Participants will benefit from a wide range of Bible studies, group discussions and networking, all aimed at strengthening their ministry efforts. We encourage every mission leader to see that their missionaries, are part of this year’s gathering. It will be a moment to pause and reflect, to be renewed in spirit, and to gain fresh vision for the work that lies ahead.
