Dear Colleague,
Gospel Rescue Mission Fellowship (GRMF) invites you to join us for GRMF Conference 2024 -- hosted by Durham Rescue Mission and held at the DoubleTree by Hilton (the "Research Triangle Park" location). Pick and choose among the conference seminar offerings. As you create your own conference schedule, make sure to plan to attend the sessions offered by each of the Platform Speakers. Whether it’s attending a seminar, gleaning knowledge from our platform speakers, joining in worship, or fellowshipping and networking -- we promise you won’t be disappointed. Join mission staff and vendors from around the United States. My prayer is that you will join us to become better encouraged, trained, and equipped in the work God is calling you to fulfill. Mark your calendar now for May 30 – June 2, 2024! See you in Durham! Blessings, Rev. Tom Laymon for the GRMF Board |
Welcome to the 2024 Gospel Rescue Mission Fellowship annual meeting!
This year, we have a great lineup of speakers, including Rosaria Butterfield and Micheal Brown. Rosaria is the author of The Gospel Comes with a House Key: Practicing Radically Ordinary Hospitality in Our Post-Christian World and The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert. Michael Brown is a Jewish believer in Jesus (he came to faith in 1971 as a heroin-shooting, LSD-using, hippie rock drummer) and he holds a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Literatures from New York University. He's written more than 40 books, including wake-up calls to the Church of America, scholarly monographs and commentaries on biblical subjects, a series of volumes on answering Jewish objections to Jesus, and much-discussed books on today's hottest cultural issues. We are looking forward to see all of you. Not only will these two top-notch speakers be present, but we will hear from many of our rescue friends as they teach seminars that will help your missions in many areas. I hope to see you all there! Greg Kirk GRMF Board President |
