WELCOME TO NWCC’S MISSIONS CONFERENCE

Our theme The Church in the Iron Furnace is language drawn from Exodus. Just as the people of Israel were in the iron furnace of Egypt but were not consumed because of God’s sustaining grace, so too is the church in areas of persecution and trouble kept by God now. We will be hearing stories of perseverance and fruitfulness from missionaries and the global church in the midst of trials, to the glory of God!
