BEFORE WE CAN GO, WE MUST BE SENT

John 15:5 says “He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit, for without me, you can do nothing.” God has great plans for this generation, there are great exploits to perform, injustices to be righted, but this adventure has to begin in the secret place with God, in the place of communion with Him. Before we go on mission with Him, we must first learn to abide in Christ, to hear His voice. We need the Holy Spirit to teach us and remove entangling sin from our lives. We need Him to tell us who we are, and to send us out on mission.

The Northfield Student Conference is an opportunity for students to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ and to discover and grow in their callings.

We want to get away for five days with like-minded believers to be with Jesus together, as His family, in a beautiful place where we can commune with God and with one another. This gathering is sponsored by many different ministries in New England who are working in unity. There will be amazing men and women of God there from the New England region, fathers and mothers who want to come along side you in your journey with the Lord.

DL Moody and the Student Volunteer Movement

In 1886, 251 young men gathered for the first Northfield Student Conference. At the end of the conference, God had supernaturally broken in. 100 of the students committed themselves to world missions and what became known as the Student Volunteer Missions Movement was born. In a generation, this movement sent 20,000 missionaries overseas. Their watchword, “the evangelization of the world in this generation”, was a cry to fulfill the Great Commission in their lifetimes.

In 1886, a movement was born with a dream that every person on earth would hear the gospel. They died without seeing the promise—this is an invitation to join in and, Lord wiling, be part of completing their story. It’s simple: We need to know Him, sit with Him, learn His ways and His heart. Everything else will flow out of that. Join us this July 23-28 for the Northfield Student Conference.

Make Disciples

Before He ascended, Jesus left His disciples with this mandate: “Go into all the world and make disciples of all peoples…” Nearly 2,000 years later, that mandate remains unfulfilled, with an estimated 3.1 billion people in 4,500 people groups on earth who have never heard the name of Jesus Christ. As followers of Jesus Christ, we all have a role to play in seeing Jesus’ Commission fulfilled.

We believe it is time to finish what the Volunteers began, to raise up a new movement of college-students who will give up their lives to see the Lamb of God receive the reward of His suffering. Building on the legacy of the past, we see on the horizon a new Student Mission Movement to bring to completion what our forebearers began.
