126th Lott Carey Annual Session begins in Greensboro, North Carolina

The Lott Carey network of churches and supporters are gathering for its 126th Annual Session, a four-day conference that will celebrate and advance its mission of promoting Christian mission, education, and social justice around the world.

The event is from August 14-17, 2023, in Greensboro, North Carolina, and will feature the theme “Go” – Matthew 28:19-20.

Approximately 1,000 missional leaders are attending the conference, which offers workshops, plenary sessions, worship services, and mission opportunities.

The conference also includes a night of comedy and an evening of jazz, both of which are ticketed events. William Powell is the comedian, and Dr. Alyn Waller is the guest jazz artist.

The Lott Carey Annual Session is a gathering of Baptist and other church leaders and supporters from around the world who come together to celebrate the organization’s mission of promoting Christian mission, education, and social justice. The organization supports indigenous communities through prayer partnership, financial support, and technical assistance, primarily through ministries of evangelism, compassion, empowerment, and advocacy.

The conference theme “Go” is based on the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, where Jesus commands his disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything he has commanded them. The theme reflects the Lott Carey network’s commitment to spreading the gospel and serving the needs of people across the globe.

Mission opportunities are available on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday for conference attendees who want to put their faith into action. Participants can choose from various projects that will benefit local communities in Greensboro and beyond.

Parents and guardians are invited to attend a joint meeting for Hope Missionaries and International Youth Development on Sunday, August 13.

Those who attend and participate in the Annual Session will be informed and inspired to invest in Christian missions around the world. Let’s make a difference in the world in word and deed.
