3. What is the purpose of Missions Fest?
Missions Fest is a catalyst to enable people to catch a vision of the Great Commission spoken by Jesus in Matthew's gospel (28:19,20); to help people find a place where their interests and abilities can best be put to use. Its three-fold purpose is to inform, celebrate and challenge people of all ages to get involved in missions by sending, praying, giving and going.
4. Who sponsors Missions Fest?
Individual church congregations alone sponsor us. They appoint representatives to plan and organize the conference each year. Out of this body, they choose a Board of Directors who handles the day-to-day responsibilities. A small office staff assists in coordinating the ongoing work. Hundreds of volunteers, many of whom are professionals, plan and organize the conference.
5. How is Missions Fest financed?
No general entrance fee or registration is required -- the festival is free to all. Organizations pay a rental fee for each display space, local churches make an annual contribution, and people who attend are invited to make donations. Special events such as luncheons and youth rallies have nominal charges. Missions Fest is a registered non-profit society in British Columbia as well as a registered charity with Revenue Canada. Income tax receipts can be issued for gifts made to Missions Fest.
