World Mandate

Just sending you guys info again about World Mandate if anyone is interested. I'm copying/pasting an email from Jimmy Siebert about the agenda for the weekend. We'll be taking McKenna and Josiah this year. The early registration cost ends sometime this month, so if you want to go, sign up soon. We usually don't stay over on Saturday night, but we have reservations at the Comfort Inn for both nights until we decide what we're doing. We would love to share this weekend with family - it's always life-changing! Bailey and Hutton, grab some friends and come! The website is http://www.antiochcc.net/worldmandate/index.php.
We enjoyed seeing most of you over Thanksgiving - may you be richly blessed in Christ this week!

Here's the email from Jimmy:

From: Jimmy Seibert Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 3:44 PMTo: antioch-wacoSubject: FW: World Mandate '08 Dear Friends and Family, One of the words that have come to us over and over again these past two years is Jeremiah 6:16 Thus says the LORD, "Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls”. For us this means re-igniting our passion for Jesus and His purposes in the Earth. As we were planning for World Mandate, we spent a few days praying and seeking God about what to emphasize at the conference. We felt God spoke to us to have our own people who are serving around the world to come and to share the “Passion and Purpose” message. Throughout the conference, not only will we have our own people as main speakers, but we will have both audio and video vignettes of our people talking about times when they have met Jesus in a powerful way and when they have been broken hearted over the peoples of the Earth. Here is our line-up for the weekend: Friday Night - I will be speaking on “A Passion for Jesus”. I am looking at doing a long fast in anticipation of it and really seeking the Lord about fresh and in-depth ways He would touch my heart with this message. Saturday Morning – Chris McBride will be speak on “Contending for a People” Chris and Rebekah have literally given their lives to see the Palestinian people come to know Him. In these last few months, they have begun to see the fruit that they have labored for and longed for. They have been through wars, they have been through difficulties, they have fasted and prayed, and I believe that they have a message of perseverance and God’s faithfulness to share with us. Saturday Night – Lexia Campbell is going to be the communicator for the “Go” message. To be with Lexia in Sri Lanka, as well as the rest of the team, was inspiring and stirring. Lexia shared with our youth during our time there about God’s journey, not only in her own life, but God’s heart for the peoples of the Earth. We were all stirred and in awe of what God is doing in and through her, and we believe that she will bring a powerful word to stir our hearts. Sunday Morning – Sean Richmond will be sharing on the “Power of the Church as God’s Tool to Reach the World”. Sean and the team in Boston have seen great things happen. In the last few months, they have initiated a church-plant on the north shore of Boston, and they are sending out two teams overseas in the coming year… one to Morocco and one to Tunisia. More than anything, Sean has not only carried the values, but has persevered and has a great perspective and heart for what God can do. Our seminar speakers, as usual, will be men and women from around the world, not only from our own movement. While these seminars are still being planned, it’s likely that people such as Keith Wheeler, Don Steadman, Ron Parrish, Jamey Miller, Carol Davis, Janine Parrish, Joe Ewen, and many more will be with us. I just wanted to say that we are as excited as we have been in years about what God is wanting to do. We are excited about who He has chosen to share His message of passion and purpose. I believe we are going to have our greatest World Mandate yet. I look forward to seeing you there. Please continue to invite people; we are meeting in the Ferrell Center so we will have room for everybody. Early registration ends December 15th!In His Strength and Love, Jimmy
