Engage with our Global Servants and International Ministries at the Biennial Mission Summit

2021 BIENNIAL MISSION SUMMIT FEATURED PARTNER
Whether you have already registered for the Biennial Mission Summit and are planning out your schedule or you have not yet registered and are still wondering what you can experience, please consider these events from American Baptist International Ministries: 
International Ministries (IM) invites you to:
Imagine connecting with friends in the virtual attendee hub.
Imagine learning through engaging, interactive workshops.
Imagine exploring a virtual exhibit hall and meeting your missionaries. 
Virtual Attendee Hub
New in 2021 is the online hub where you still start your experience at the Biennial Mission Summit. From the hub you will be able to view your schedule, join the sessions that you have chosen, see the list of exhibitors and access their virtual booths, and access another new feature, the on-demand library. The library will include a wide assortment of resources for churches as well as personal spiritual development from IM and other ABC partners, including videos from global servants who are unable to participate in the summit.

Virtual Exhibit Hall
Personal Connections
The virtual exhibit hall will be open daily from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 p.m. ET on Monday, June 21, through Saturday, June 26. IM Staff and nearly two dozen global servants are eager to meet you at IM’s virtual exhibit booth, through which you will be able to schedule one-on-one appointments convenient to your time zones.
As God continues to call new workers, even during a pandemic, participants will also have the opportunity to make appointments with future IM global servants growing new, vibrant ministries. Aaron and AmyEstelle Trout plan to use their gifts and experience in art and administration to resource and support local churches in the Philippines, while also helping small business owners. Stacy and Tim Reese’s background in retail management and marketing will help them develop disciples in the Dominican Republic while encouraging innovation through mentoring, education, and fellowship.

Large Group Gatherings
Also within the virtual exhibit booth, participants can attend large group meetings focused on geographic regions around the world to learn about the work of IM’s global servants and how IM’s international partners are responding to COVID-19, with opportunities to ask questions. 
Rev. Dwayne Doyle – meeting for members of Mission Partnership Teams.
Rev. Dr. Rodney Ragwan – exploring what is involved in becoming an IM global servant.
Rev. Sharon Koh – the future of International Ministries with 120 global servants and 250 global partners in 70 countries bringing God’s kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven." 
More details about those available for appointments, dates and times of the large group meetings, and other virtual exhibit booth offerings will be updated on the IM website HERE.

Workshop Opportunity
On Saturday, June 26, at 4:00 p.m. ET, International Ministries will offer a workshop called “IM in Focus: the Caribbean and the Philippines,” led by Rev. Sharon Koh, with stories from future global servants just beginning their journeys overseas. “I hope you can join me for this fun and engaging workshop as we see how God continues to work through IM’s global servants and partners from the streets of Manila to the settlements in the Dominican Republic,” Rev. Koh says. Attendees must pre-register for this event.
