Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus.
Our next global GCM conference is an invitation-only leadership conference. To register, you must receive an email invitation from us.
Our past conferences have been amazing times of learning and sharing. This conference will continue the Motus Dei theme, a Latin term meaning “movements of God.” It is our prayer and desire to see vital and sustainable movements of God everywhere!!
The next conference will be in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 16 to 22 March 2026. We will have participants from over 125 countries, spend time praying and fasting together, hearing Bible teaching, exploring what makes a church vital and sustainable, and discussing the quality of our primary outcomes.
A special feature of this conference will be the inclusion of Regional Days. The central Global Conference will be 3 days, and the Regional Days will be 2 (See conference schedule below).
We appreciate your prayers for this gathering.
Blessings,
The Motus Dei Design Team
