We are very excited to bring Mission Fest Vancouver back to the heart of Vancouver, hosted by our friends at Westside Church. We can’t wait for you to join us as we are believing Jesus’ presence will be with us to save, heal, and transform your life everywhere He’s leading you.
Our theme this year is Together With Him.
In Mark’s Gospel we read,
And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. —Mark 16:20
The Great Commission is not about our going but about it being a co-mission, a co-partnership with Him. Learning to recognize and respond to a real person whose Kingdom comes where the King is—that’s what our calling is all about. Our core conviction for the conference is that Jesus is someone to encounter, to hear, to love, to listen to, and to recognize as the One who’s with us as we go.
Speakers for Mission Fest Vancouver 2024
This year, we were led to invite keynote speakers who are our friends. They all have an affection for one another and carry the conviction that Jesus is a person who, when we give Him space to move, can do more than we could imagine, here and around the world. I wrote their bios below with the above in my heart. We say here at Mission Central, “Who you do life with is more important than what you do.”
April Bates
“April Bates carries the compassion and radiance of the Holy Spirit. She is
bubbly and is often the first to cry as she listens as you share the
journey Jesus has you on. She is full of faith and has an inward
stillness like Mary, who waited at Jesus’ feet. She loves and champions
Jesus’ heart to elevate women who carry a calling and…
James Bonney
“James Bonney is the guy known for taking long walks with Jesus in
the forest, and for saying ‘It’s got to be fun.’ He is one of the most
passionate people I know who will do anything to spend as much time as
he can with Jesus. It has led James into a life fully yielded to the
Father’s voice. In the past two years, James’ friendship…
Jon Thompson
“Jon Thompson has opened more doors for Canadian leaders to see their
ministry through a Kingdom lens than anyone I know. Jon carries the
culture of Jesus, the Father’s wisdom and the Holy Spirit’s clarity. Jon
has walked with Jesus in environments of criticism, unbelief, and
spiritual darkness with such grace, Biblical precision,…
Jonathan Mitchell
“Jonathan Mitchell is a man of steel in the eyes of the Father, a
real superhero for so many young people and youth pastors. It sounds
funny, but the ‘S’ on his chest is the Spirit. His heart to see people
walk with a person in discipleship is contagious. When he walks in a
room, you can feel the smile of the Holy Spirit, and you…
Matt Menzel
“Matt Menzel is a man after God’s own heart; a man whose hunger for Jesus
burns like a fire that warms everyone and scares hell. He is the most
consistent friend I have ever had. He doesn’t waste words or take His
calling lightly. He is an example to every missionary and pastor of
someone who walks in the fellowship of the suffering…
Ryan Johnson
“Ryan Johnson has walked with Jesus to the cross like no pastor I
have ever met. He’s taught me how to die to self and care about one
thing: Jesus. Christ and Him crucified is the legacy of this man. Ryan
preaches like Jonathan Edwards in our day; his words carry the sword of
the Spirit and the truth of the Person of Nazareth.…
Greg Musselman
“Greg Musselman burns for the real Jesus, the Jesus who shows up in the faces of those who have given all in persecution and abandonment to the person of Jesus. Greg’s smile can light your heart on fire to pursue all that is possible with God. Complacency dies when you’re around him, which brings you to wanting one thing: to know where…
Steve Schroeder
“Steve Schroeder is the most hopeful person He knows. He is also the most
hope-filled person everyone knows. Steve has a deep affection that flows
from the Father for leaders to find courage and strength for the dreams
they carry and the decisions they make. He’s a mentor and father to
hundreds and hundreds of pastors and leaders who…
