It is confirmed now. We will meet in Bahrain for our 2009 conference. We invite you to join us for mutual encouragement, networking, and learning about being missional in and from our various international church settings. Now that you know where we'll meet, you have plenty of time to budget for the plane fare and conference costs. April 20-24 are the dates we're planning toward. Join us! Read about our past conferences, and contact us if you have questions. |

MICN is a growing network of expatriate international church leaders who desire to be missional. MiSSIONAL is our journey. From sending a few, to all sent together. From distant consumers of culture, to incarnational and critical participants in culture. From church for the churched, to church as an active Kingdom presence in each culture. From formulaic and institutionalized programs to servant relationships of word, deed, sign and prayer. INTERNATIONAL is our composition. We intend to facilitate creative thinking in leaders who are needed to enable International Churches (IC’s) to be active participants in God’s mission in multicultural, national, and expatriate contexts. There are IC’s from fourteen different nations represented among us this year. There are planters of IC's and leaders of IC’s of over 1200 members, and everything in-between. Each person brings varying perspectives and unique ministry contexts. |

We started out in Jakarta four years ago. Then we moved to the United Arab Emirates. In 2006 we met in Bangkok, while 2007 brought us back to Indonesia and onto the beautiful island of Bali. Phnom Penh was our host city in April 2008. Gathering international church leaders is like trying to stack marbles. But when we get together the dynamic is electric! We enjoy the conferences and meeting new people. The last two years we've had over 50 attendees each time and guests that have come from about 15 different countries. There are planters of international churches and leaders of congregations over 1200 in attendance, and everything in between. Please browse our web site to find out who we are and why we do the things we do. Plan on joining us for the next conference. We look forward to meeting you in late April 2009 for the sixth MICN conference, back in the Middle East, God willing. Come check us out! Start budgeting now.

Acts chapters 11 and 13 tell the story of the church at Antioch. That church reached Jews (expats in Antioch), Greek-speaking Syrians (locals in the city), plus Europeans and Asians (unreached peoples in those days).
It was missional. It was international. It was a model church.
Today, international churches are uniquely positioned to impact the most unreached countries of the world.
MICN is dedicated to catalyzing international churches to become missional. |
