The Office of Spiritual Life and Beeson Divinity School at Samford University are hosting our annual Go Global Missions Emphasis Week this fall on October 8-9 with Jolene Erlacher as our keynote speaker.
Go Global is Samford's annual Missions Emphasis Week co-sponsored by the Global Center and the Office of Spiritual Life. As part of this year's Go Global week, our keynote speaker, Jolene Erlacher, will share about her work on mobilizing the next generation for global missions, what that looks like and what some of the challenges and opportunities are in the field of Global Missions for the upcoming generation.
Last year, Dr. Julia Higgins took a trip to Lome, Togo in West Africa and partnered with the International Missions Board to put on a women's conference for female Baptist leaders from across West Africa. About 75 women attended from Togo, Cameroon, and Ghana. She will share about her experience leading that conference and what it looks like to contextualize learning atctivities for ministry in different contexts in a talk entitled "Empowered and Equipped: Strengthening West African Women in Biblical Interpretation for the Ministry of Teaching."
Does a reckoning with the colonial era mean that western Christians should avoid cross-cultural missions? Hear a conversation between a professor in Samford’s history department and a Liberian Christian leader.
Join us at the Global Center and enjoy traditional holiday dishes from countries around the world!
