The National Higher Calling Conference to be in December is intended to serve as a bridge toward that revival. The theme, “To The Ends,” carries both our earnest prayers and our deepest hopes. The “ends” may refer to distant geographical regions. Yet they may also represent a soul trapped in spiritual darkness, a broken relationship that seems beyond restoration, or marginalized people whom no one has yet reached with the gospel. At every end, however, there are nations waiting to be reached. And at those frontiers, young people like the dew of the morning will rise up to embrace the nations. Their pain will become a crown of glory, and their tears will be transformed into holy devotion.
“To The Ends” is also a declaration of our desire to follow Jesus all the way to the end. Jesus obeyed the Father even unto death and loved us to the very end. Likewise, this theme expresses our longing to obey Him completely and to love others faithfully until the end.
Both Scripture and history testify that sacred gatherings that please God have often become pivotal milestones in His redemptive story. This year marks the first National Higher Calling Conference ever hosted since the ministry began in North America. We pray and anticipate that this gathering will become a defining milestone in diasporic movement to raise leaders among them and help them to bring the gospel to all nations.
