BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – WMU will host a two-day excursion on coach buses on June 12–13, providing the opportunity to engage with 20-plus ministry leaders prior to the SBC Annual Meeting in Anaheim, California.
“This year’s WMU missions celebration will be a unique experience,” said Connie Dixon, president of national WMU. “I’m so excited for the opportunity to see all God is doing through His people in California as we explore mission points near Anaheim and celebrate the many faces of the SBC through local ethnic groups and cultures. Come learn more about local ministry efforts, experience the culture, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of California.”
Embark: WMU’s Rolling Missions Adventure offers an opportunity to experience missions and ministry in the surrounding area. On Sunday, the first stop will be for prayerwalking and a Missions Celebration on the campus of Gateway Seminary. From there each bus will travel to a different ministry point or church plant.
On Monday, the first stop will be Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier with the opportunity to prayerwalk, visit with ministry leaders, and enjoy the beach. From there, buses will travel together to Chinese Baptist Church of Orange County and then separately to different missions venues.
Experienced missions advocates will make this a memorable and meaningful experience, including mission speakers on each coach bus.
Buses will depart between 11:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. each day and return by 6:00 p.m. each evening. Pickup and drop-off on Sunday is at the Hilton Anaheim. Pickup and drop-off on Monday is at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The registration fee—which includes round-trip coach bus transportation on Sunday and Monday—is $40 per person. Those with their own transportation may prefer to join the group at any or all of the following three missions points for a $10 registration fee: Sunday at Gateway Seminary, Monday at Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier, and Monday at Chinese Baptist Church of Orange County.
Everyone and all ages are welcome. Families will enjoy this unique opportunity to discover and pray for missions efforts on the west coast.
