The Greater Purpose Conference is hosted annually by World Missions Alliance in Branson, MO. This year it will be held on April 9,10 and 11, at Thousand Hills Resort Hotel (formerly the Radisson Hotel) and will host the INSPIRED exhibit of ancient Bible artifacts and inspiring presentation by Dr. Scott Carroll.
My name is Chuck Todd. My wife Helen and I are the founders of World Missions Alliance, an interdenominational ministry that specializes in providing people like you opportunities to go on short-term Christian mission trips in nations around the world. We are located in Branson West, MO. This year we are celebrating 26 years of serving Christ in the Great Commission.
Greater Purpose Conference is our annual spring event on April 9, 10, and 11.
If you love to serve, if missions are close to your heart, or if you simply need to be refreshed spiritually, Greater Purpose Conference for you!
This conference will connect you with a community of believers who share your passion to help others and be used by God. It will also introduce you to opportunities to serve through short term Christian mission trips in over 32 nations.
At the Greater Purpose Conference, you will discover how your gifts, talents and testimony can be used on the mission field to share the Gospel and bring people to Christ.
The most valuable things in life are things money cannot buy. There are “divine appointments” that are rare and extremely precious. They hold tremendous value when seized and can have a life long impact on you. I believe the Greater Purpose Conference is one of those valuable moments to be seized.
When my wife Helen and I started World Missions Alliance in 1999, we had clear guidance from God that our service in the Great Commission had two goals – proclaiming the Gospel in the world’s “hot spots” and helping Christians like you find their place in world missions.
Our ministry motto is: Changed lives Change lives!
This means if your life has been changed by Christ, you can help others experience the same through World Missions Alliance.
Your story, your testimony and your relationship with Jesus are powerful tools that make an effective missionary and can help others to experience transformation through Christ.
At World Missions Alliance and at the Greater Purpose Conference, we want to help you fulfill your calling and discover your greater purpose through short term missions.
In Christ,
Chuck and Helen Todd
Founders of World Missions Alliance
