DO JUSTICE, DO RIGHTEOUSNESS, WITH YOUR CREATIVITY! GO TO PRAYONMLK.COM FOR MORE INFOMRATION.

Why?

1. These times demand a revelatory vision. 
2.  We must release the Gospel of the Kingdom.
3. Most African-American churches don’t have a global missions sending mechanism.
4. Most prominent Western missionary training organizations are almost completely disconnected from relationships with historically black denominations, ministries, and communities.
5. We believe God is extending a bold and audacious challenge to the whole Body of Christ to  raise up a missions movement out of every predominantly black and minority community in America.

What we will be doing...

CELEBRATE

We will acknowledge the rich and unique contributions of African-Americans in the history of Global Missions and re-envision the Church with God’s dream for the whole Church to carry the whole Gospel.  

INNOVATE

Bring everyone to the table for a time of strategic mission ideation and innovation. Around tables, we’ll deep dive into important questions and seek the Lord together for answers.

ACTIVATe

Learn from some of the world’s foremost African-American missiological practitioners. We will pray and assimilate ideas and thought into action and practical next steps.

Dr. Krystle Roberts

Launch Global

Krystle Roberts, born & raised in a small town in Texas.  In college, she was convicted of her lack of concern with the calling of the great commission. The Lord lead her to pursue the discipleship and long term sending of African Americans among the unreached people in the 10/40 window through joining Launch Global. Her desire is to see the sleeping Giant of the African American Church rise up and take its place in the Kingdom and get back to a place of equipping and sending long term laborers among the unreached. More specifically, she hopes to see a holistic transformation and approach in the entire process from training to sustaining  African Americans for staying long term in the field in order to see the Gospel reach where it currently does not.

YOU

We will have a strategic time of discussion where we innovate and activate together. This time will be the centerpiece of our summit. Your voice is wanted and desperately needed.

Who was George Liele?

Freed from the bonds of chattel slavery in 1773, George Liele chose to spend the strength of his life advancing the Gospel. On May 20, 1775, he became the first ordained African American Baptist preacher in America. He then organized the first African American Baptist Church in North America, which is still in existence today. Though William Carey is called the father of the modern missionary movement,  Liele left America and planted the gospel in Jamaica a full ten years before Carey left England. Beyond being both the inheritance and the calling of the African-American community, His legacy belongs to the whole Church and is a critical key to fulfilling the Great Commission in this age.
