An Overview of our
Global Missions Conferences
The 12th Global Missions Conference (GMC) renewed hearts and affirmed callings. In 2024, GMC expanded to the Caribbean, gathering nearly 60 delegates in Jamaica under the theme “Partnering Together for Wholistic Impact.” Later, GMC-Africa in Kenya united 1,000 delegates under “Transformed for Wholistic Impact,” inspiring bold steps into mission. Attendees testified to renewed passion for the Great Commission, Great Commandment, and Great Concern, affirming the Global South as both mission field and mission force.
Our Sudan Response
In 2024, civil war forced LIA-Sudan to relocate, facing funding delays, logistical hurdles, and growing needs in IDP camps. The conflict’s ripple effects reached South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Egypt, worsening refugee crises. Yet, through local church partners, LIA supported over 3,500 households with hygiene supplies, nutrition, and education. Amid adversity, our mission to bring hope, healing, and restoration remained steadfast.
2024 and Beyond
As Life In Abundance (LIA) moves forward, we remain committed to expanding our impact by empowering local churches and transforming vulnerable communities. A mid-term review of our 2022-2026 Strategic Plan highlights key achievements, including deeper community engagement, strengthened financial performance, and growing global partnerships. Our Ministry Support Offices in the US, UK, and Europe have played a crucial role in mobilizing resources and broadening our reach. With an upgraded financial system and a targeted 80% program cost ratio by 2026, we are positioned for greater efficiency and sustainability.
Looking ahead, we recognize key opportunities that will shape our work. As we expand into new regions, we are adapting our programs to navigate political and economic challenges. In nations experiencing internal conflicts, we are refining our interventions to ensure continuity and support for affected communities.
Through it all, the resilience of the local church remains a powerful force for transformation. Their deep-rooted presence, trust among the people, and commitment to wholistic development make them uniquely positioned to drive lasting change. By equipping and strengthening local churches, even the most challenging environments can become foundations for hope, self-reliance, and sustainable transformation in 2025 and beyond.
