Description:

Ignite the Cause is an inspiring initiative aimed at engaging and empowering young adults between the ages of 18 and 28 in their journey towards global missions. This transformative four-day event, set to be launched in January 2027 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma will draw participants from across the USA and Canada.

Building on the foundation laid by the Global Discover Missions events of previous years, Ignite the Cause, seeks to create a consistent and impactful pipeline for missionary discernment and development in years when larger gatherings do not take place. Participants will delve deeply into urban missions, explore their identity within the Nazarene tradition, and gain invaluable insights through mentorship as they discern their calling.

The Ignite the Cause experience goes beyond mere attendance; it aims to instill a sustainable missionary culture that resonates throughout local churches and communities. With topics ranging from global evangelism and discipleship to cross-cultural intelligence and spiritual formation, participants will emerge with the necessary skills and confidence to serve effectively in diverse contexts. Beyond individual growth, the project anticipates fostering connections to tangible opportunities such as developmental sites and overseas missions.

By investing in these young leaders and providing them with the tools and support they need, Ignite the Cause aspires to launch a new generation of missionaries, church planters, and Kingdom leaders who will significantly impact both urban and rural settings in North America and beyond.
