What is God's plan for the world?

Despite the chaos around us, God is at work.

Texas for the Nations is a regional gathering that brings a generation together to encounter God's heart for the world through worship, stories, teaching, and practical next steps.

So that Jesus will be exalted among all nations.

If you follow Jesus, this weekend was built for you.

Bring your church, your campus group, your roommate.

What happens over the weekend

One Friday night and one Saturday. Worship, main sessions, breakouts, and a Ministry Fair where partner agencies are all in one room.

  1. Why?

    Friday night asks why. Worship, then the big picture: what God is doing in the world and why it still matters.

  2. Who?

    Saturday morning asks who. Stories from business leaders, missionaries and church planters already living this out.

    Five panelists on stage sharing stories, one speaking into a microphone.
  3. How?

    Saturday afternoon asks how. Breakouts built around where you are, and a Ministry Fair with people who can help you take the next step.

Voices from For the Nations

    [Christians] don't know because no one has told them. And they're not involved because no one has invited them. That's what we want to do!

    Salvation has come to us because it's on its way to someone else.

  • Portrait of Sean Cooper
    As we want to see churches planted among unreached language groups, churches should never fear that that's at odds with us reaching out to our neighbors. In fact, it should encourage us and spur us in to do that very thing.

Good
to know

Who is this for?

Anyone who follows Jesus and wants to find their place in what God is doing around the world. Church groups, campus ministries and families come every year.

What does "the nations" mean?

Every people group in the world, including the ones that still have no church and no Bible in their language. We call those groups unreached. Reaching them is what this weekend is about.

Do I have to be planning to move overseas?

No. Most people in the room are not. The weekend is about finding your place in God's plan for the world, from wherever you are.
