More than 350+ Leaders from Nine Southern African Nations will Gather in Cape Town for ‘FINISH Southern Africa’ from April 3-5
ORLANDO, March 18, 2024 — As part of a global movement to finalize the Great Commission by 2030, Global Church Network (GCN) is hosting the FINISH Southern Africa Summit from April 3-5 in Cape Town, gathering hundreds of ministry leaders from nine nations across Southern Africa for networking, equipping and prayer.
“Our aim with FINISH is to foster meaningful connections among Christian leaders worldwide by strategically targeting regions where access to the Gospel is limited or hard to reach," said Dr. James O. Davis, founder and president of GCN. "Think of FINISH as a train; we are calling leaders to take a bold step and join us on our journey to complete the Great Commission.”
GCN is synergistically partnered with thousands of organizations and more than 700,000 local churches around the globe, spanning virtually every denomination and world region. To achieve the goal of mobilizing and synergizing the Body of Christ for the fulfillment of the Great Commission, GCN holds its biennial Synergize Conference and annual leadership summits and provides extensive online resources through the Global Church Divinity School (GCDS) to equip pastors and church leaders from around the world for outreach in their surrounding communities.
The FINISH Southern Africa Summit will feature six plenary sessions after the acronym FINISH: Find, Intercede, Network, Invest, Send and Harvest.
Keynote speakers will include:
· James O. Davis, founder and president of the Global Church Network;
· Timothy Hill, general overseer of the Church of God in Cleveland, Tennessee;
· Alex Mitala, founding president of BBT in Uganda;
· Stafford Petersen, Moderator at Full Gospel Church of God;
