On April 17, the chairmen of the associations in the U.S., as well as the missions leaders who are making the preparations of the 2020 Missionary Congress had a leaders’ meeting on ZOOM. Due to the quarantine and despite the absence of any forecasts related to the lessening of the restrictions that affect international travel, as well as the physical assembly in the State of California, the organizers affirmed their desire to host the congress, and will continue to make necessary preparations. The congress was rescheduled to September 25-27, and we hope that all of the issues of restrictions will be resolved. In general, the program is ready, and all of the speakers except for two already confirmed their desire to participate in September.
We realize that in light of the current situation, the reality of missionary involvement around the world is needed now more than ever. The next meeting of the congress organizers is scheduled for June 5th. Pray that God would bless the preparation, as well as the congress itself, which is so significant in its impact.
