The time for our 2010 Missions Conference is rapidly approaching. The core dates of 
the conference are March 14-17, and 21, 2010. However, this year we’re going to do something new. We have scheduled a pre-conference missions speaker and a post-conference missions speaker to round out the month. That’s why we’re saying at Maranatha Fellowship Church that “March is for Missions.”
There are certain months of the year that are known for something particular. For example, January is known in our circles as “sanctity of life month” which values the life of the unborn while remembering that fateful “Roe v. Wade” decision that made abortion legal in this country. February is known as “black history month” as it celebrates the achievements of African-Americans in the development of our nation’s history. So why can’t we treat March as the month to celebrate missions and honor the Lord for the work that He’s done, and continues to do, through His faithful missionaries.
Because of the additional missions speakers, we will be blessed to have a different missionary speaking on every Sunday evening in March. And we’ll have several missionaries speak during the week of our missions conference. Our church is excited about how the Lord will awaken and challenge us to the work and needs of missionaries around the world.

Please join us for our 2010 Missions Conference. The theme for this year’s conference is “Open Doors.” We will trust the Lord for more and more open doors to share the gospel throughout the world, both at home and abroad. May God be glorified! May Christ be magnified! May the Holy Spirit be electrified! And may each one of us be fortified!
