Missions Fest Seattle theme for 2025
Missions Fest Seattle presents our 20th yearly conference with the theme, “For Such a Time as This”. That phrase is found in the Book of Esther in the Old Testament, chapter 4, verse 14. I encourage you to read chapter 14 to get the fuller picture of that verse. Queen Esther had been challenged by her uncle with those words as she faced a difficult decision. They now apply to each of us. We are not an accident. We were born for a purpose. God has designed us to be part of His kingdom work which is to bring glory to God by going(taking the initiative) and making disciples of all nations(people groups).
That’s called evangelism and you will find the theme of evangelism woven throughout this year’s conference, including an Evangelism Summit for pastors and mission leaders on Friday, October 10. We will refer to local evangelism and that which takes place in faraway places such as the 10/40 Window. If you’re unfamiliar with that term, it refers to an area on the globe from 10 to 40 degrees north of the Equator and running from North Africa across the Middle East to Japan. In that large rectangle live the great majority of people who have yet to be reached with the gospel, who have yet to even have an opportunity to hear the gospel.
How will you live out your life differently because you were born for such a time as this?
