The First Ever "Senders Summit"
It was truly a historical event. As 145 leaders from 71 nations gathered and were hosted with incredible hospitality and grace by the Minnesota District Council Assemblies of God for the first-ever "Sender's Summit," organized by the WAGF Missions Commission which took place in Alexandria, Minnesota, USA, on May 16-20, 2023. What made this event unique was the intimate setting, which allowed leaders to interact, network, and be together for several days. This dynamic is difficult to replicate in a larger congress setting. Dick Brogden, Co-Founder of The Live Dead Movement was in attendance and shared how the gathering made an impact on him as he shares, "The “Senders Summit”, so capably organized and led by Brad Walz, may indeed be the most significant missions event I have attended in the last decade. We are globally at a most critical point regarding Gospel Access to the unreached and unengaged and the time for mere talking has passed. We are in the last days, and this Summit has galvanized the whole family of Assemblies of God mission agencies toward finishing the task."
