Overview

A century and a half ago, J. N. Andrews, the first official Seventh-day Adventist missionary, was sent overseas. Since then, nearly 25,000 more official denominational missionaries plus numerous student and self-supporting missionaries have followed in his footsteps. This sesquicentennial memorial conference celebrating 150 years of consistent Seventh-day Adventist missionary endeavors explores ways to enhance our current and future missional engagements.

Presentations will investigate the History of Mission, Major World Religions, and Mission Challenges and Strategies.
