The third annual IBMGlobal Conference was held April 22-25th. Speakers dealt with a variety of personal development and growth issues during the four days of seminars. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive. A special word of thanks to the various men and women who invested time teaching at the conference.

On April 26th the IBMGlobal Board of Directors held their annual meeting. It was a special blessing to meet several missionaries who served with the mission before it was relaunched as IBMGlobal, and to accept new missionaries to Italy, Panama, New York City. Our IBMGlobal candidate secretary and European Field Director and wife were also formally accepted. Provisional acceptance was made for missionaries going to South Sudan and North Africa. This brings the number of missionaries serving with IBMGlobal to nearly 30 units.

What a privilege to come alongside sending churches to facilitate church planting movements around the world.
