Speakers: An MTW missionary couple who served 7 years in the Middle East

Our excuses matter in God’s story of redemption. As we plan for the pulpit, the counseling room, or serving in a church, does "mission" belong in our "maybe not" or "meh" category? Come hear from the experience of MTW missionaries about how God uses our excuses and even seasons of grief for his purposes in ministry.

Lunch provided (Panda Express).

Hosted by: Covenant Missions Club, which exists to raise cross-cultural awareness, cultivate conviction for missional engagement, and mobilize students toward faithful participation in global mission through prayer, fellowship, and equipping.

Speaker: Chris Daniel, National Director, Association of Churches to Advance the Imago Dei

Prayer is critical, but does it matter how "hard" we pray? What does the Bible say about how God responds to his people when they "cry out" to him? Is God more responsive when we are in desperate situations or when we pray with atypical intensity? This Ministry Lunch will look at some key biblical passages, along with some examples from the founding and mission of our nonprofit and consider together how these insights into prayer and God's fatherly responsiveness to his children might apply to all of our prayer lives and the various situations that we find ourselves in.

Lunch provided (Chick-fil-A).
