The Mission Conference 2026 gathered 86 delegates and 17 manpower for three days of learning, fellowship, and spiritual growth. Through sessions on Significant Woman, MC2, and Spiritual Character and Leadership Formation, the conference aimed to equip church leaders and strengthen their commitment to God's mission.
One of the highlights was hearing testimonies of church multiplication. One group, which first connected with our team at GCM Bicol, shared how their church had dwindled to just four remaining members. After attending MC2 training and applying what they learned, their church grew and multiplied into four locations. Even more encouraging, their daughter church also joined the conference.
Another church partner shared how a simple encounter with a ministry display table at a church conference led them to participate in MC2 training. Today, their church is also actively multiplying, demonstrating how a single connection can lead to lasting growth and impact.
The two-day Significant Woman session provided a meaningful space for pastors' wives to address the unique challenges they face in ministry. Many appreciated having a resource that recognized their often-overlooked roles and encouraged their personal growth. They were also challenged to bring the material into their own churches to reach and encourage more women.
Meanwhile, MC2 proved to be a practical and transferable discipleship tool. One church partner shared how even those who are not pastors can facilitate the material, helping their youth ministry grow and multiply.
A session on Sustainability also challenged pastors to develop a biblical perspective on finances and generosity. They were encouraged to practice generosity themselves and set an example for their churches by supporting other ministries, even amid their own financial needs.
More than just a conference, Mission Conference 2026 served as a reminder that multiplication happens when leaders are equipped, encouraged, and intentional about putting what they learn into practice. As the delegates returned to their churches, they carried with them a renewed commitment to disciple others and extend God's mission to more communities.
