Thank you for giving above and beyond the goal of Christmas Offering 2024! Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
Christmas Offering 2024
This year your gifts will be used to provide for the personal care of our global workers at the upcoming Refresh Conference. This conference includes times of rest, worship, and instruction for global workers and their families.
Refresh plays a critical role in the longevity of ministry among our workers and with this offering you’re able to invest in these families who are part of life-changing kingdom work around the globe.
What is the goal of Refresh?
At a Christian conference center just north of London, England, we will gather our community of global workers together with a representation of the community from Heritage and spend a week gazing at Jesus, recentering our sense of purpose, regaining our corporate stride, and reconnecting with each other, all with the hope that we will leave with a renewed perspective, bringing joy that inspires endurance.Â
What will the week entail?
- Christ-centered, gospel-oriented teaching
- Corporate worship and prayer
- Specialized teams and programming for kids of all ages
- Balanced scheduling that provides structure and allows rest (and fun!)
- Intentional personalized time with staff and lay leaders to process life and work
- Peaceful setting with lovely accommodations and good food
What are some reasons for Refresh?
- Provide a week of holistic refreshment for our sent and supported workers from Heritage.
- Help fulfill the shepherding aspect of the Global Ministries vision: Heritage Global Ministries exists to discover, equip, and shepherd long-term cross-cultural Goers who love the Gospel and are making reproducing followers of Jesus.
- Furnish a place where our workers are shepherded in person by a team of elders, elder wives, and key ministry leaders to aid in their perseverance as long-term cross-cultural goers.
- Present an opportunity for our global workers to engage in the broader community of workers from around the world to remain connected to the big picture of God building his Church among the nations.
- Vision cast continual love of Jesus and his gospel.
- Provide a safe place to process the joys and challenges unique to life as overseas global workers.
