Common Questions

Who will be speaking?
You will hear first-hand from several native missionary leaders and Gospel for Asia founder K.P. Yohannan. These men have all been involved planting churches in some of the most difficult, and most unreached, areas in the world. They have witnessed first-hand the Lord's leading and they will "bring the mission field to you" by sharing their hearts with you. You will be encouraged and challenged as they talk about the persecution on the mission field and the Lord's faithfulness in overcoming it. You will hear about real and ordinary people doing amazing things through God's strength.

How do I know this isn't just "another conference"? Sure, it might be a great experience at the time, but will it have any lasting impact?
We wanted to know the same thing. People may like the conference, even love the conference, but would there be a true, lasting impact? If the conference had no impact, we didn't want to have it. It was that simple. So we did a smaller version of this conference last year. We got permission from the people attending to call them long after the conference was over to see what impact, if any, it had on their lives. What we discovered left us in awe of our Lord. God had used the conference to truly change people's lives -- their passion for Jesus, for prayer, and for outreach was impacted significantly. Even whole churches were changed and we believe this will happen again this year too!

How was the Gaylord Texan chosen as the host hotel for the conference?
Only four properties (hotel and convention center) are available in North Texas that can accommodate a conference of this size. Of these, the Gaylord Texan is closest to both the Gospel for Asia International Headquarters and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The Gaylord Texan is also providing GFA with the best rates for accommodations and banquet facilities.

How does the cost of staying at the conference hotel compare to staying in an off-site hotel?
The special conference rate offered by the Gaylord Texan is $85 per night ($100 per night if booked after May 5); this rate is less expensive than the average cost of off-site hotel accommodations, rental car and parking expenses.

Will my school-age son or daughter be able to attend the conference?
Anyone 13 years of age and older may participate in the conference, with the understanding that the full registration fee still applies to them. Children 12 and under may stay with you at the hotel, but they are not permitted to attend any of the conference sessions or meals, and they must be supervised at all times.
