The theme for our 2024 convention is “Partner in Mission.” Why? Continuing to build on the CLB’s Disciple-Making Church vision, we want to dig into one of the four senior objectives during the 2024 convention. “Call to Follow” was covered by the last convention, as it is the foundation, as well as the launch pad, to accomplish our other objectives. Part of the DNA of the CLB is partnership. In order to effectively “Unleash” and “Multiply,” partnership is necessary. Whether we are partnering as individuals to accomplish a ministry in a local congregation, partnering as multiple congregations supporting a church plant, or partnering as an entire family of churches reaching the unreached people of Taiwan, partnership is necessary.

Partnership is also the way God decided to do things: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matt. 18b,20b).  God, though omnipotent, omniscient, and the creator of all things, has chosen to partner with us to accomplish his mission. He is with us always, as we are sent out together to make disciples of all nations.
