FROM ALL NATIONS TO ALL NATIONS
NYC's Churches Reaching the World Together

Hear from speakers, worship and pray together, and meet exhibitors representing various missions efforts. Connect with like-minded believers unified around the Great Commission!
If you are a pastor, church leader, recognize a call to ministry, or want to learn more about missions, this gathering is for you. Free lunch provided!
Where?
November 8th
Cornerstone Church East Village NY.
Why?
Acts 1:8-9 gives us Jesus’ final instructions before ascending to heaven: wait for the Holy Spirit’s power, then be His witnesses from your own backyard to the ends of the earth. New York City is uniquely positioned for this calling—we’re already a gathering of all nations with the experience, relationships, and Spirit-empowerment to reach all nations.
Your Invitation:
Whether you’ve been in missions for years or you’re just sensing God’s call into this work, join us for a Saturday morning with leaders who share your heart for the lost. You’ll hear real stories from Brooklyn to Turkey, accounts of overflow evangelism and people reading Scripture for the first time. You will be challenged. You will be transformed. Come worship and pray together, and leave with practical next steps—not just inspiration. Connect with churches ready to partner, meet mission organizations, and discover what God can do when we stop working alone and start working together.

Our Values
Prayer is Primary
Prayer is our primary mobilization strategy.
We Don’t Compete, We Complete.
By fostering collaboration rather than competition, we believe the Church can be more effective in fulfilling the Great Commission.
Help on the GO
Empowering missions efforts with strategic training and easy to use media tools and resources
“When a united body of believers work together, we reflect the love of Christ and advance God’s mission with greater power and purpose.” – Ryan Doherty, Pastor of Mobilization and Prayer, The Summit Church (Apex Campus)
“Missions exists because worship doesn’t. God will spread the fame of His name to every tribe, nation, and tongue, but He won’t do it without His people going.” – John Piper
Together, for the Kingdom. Together, for the World.

What is M:T's Purpose?
M:T is about equipping and empowering believers to embrace outward facing lives to make Christ known, to kindle the fire of faith through prayer, and to weave networks of love together through strategic & prayerful cooperation.
Missions is not only an important task. It is a way of life. It is living the GREAT commission as an act of worship.
Our Mission: Ignite, Equip, Resource & Unite
M:T transcends the concept of a mere forum; we are a collective, a collaborative.
In competition with no one and in support of any gospel work proclaiming Christ, we are fueled by a passion to see the gospel flourish in Triangle and beyond, to empower you as Christ’s ambassador, to provide the tools necessary for effective ministry, and to foster unity through effective networking & fervent prayer.
Our mission is unequivocal: to connect you with your unique missions calling, making the Great Commission the paramount & joyful goal of every believer, leader, and congregation.
A Holy Call to Action: Transforming the World Together
M:T stands on the principle that together, we can achieve what is impossible alone.
