Who We Are
Mission to the World equips churches to send missionaries to fulfill Jesus’ Great Commission to go and make disciples of all the earth. We are an agency of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
What We Do
MTW equips and sends missionaries to about 100 countries across the world and we resource U.S. PCA churches to do the same. You can read all about us here.
Why We Gather
This missions conference is focused on bringing the Church and believers in Jesus back to our true mission: to make disciples of all nations.
Who is This For
The Global Missions conference is for church leaders, people exploring whether they’re called to serve in missions, and people passionate about praying for and giving toward missions. It’s for pastors, missions committee members, and students. It’s for anyone who wants to expand their understanding of the world and its great need for the gospel. It’s for those who want to be equipped or who want to equip their church and for missionaries who want to share their stories of how God is working.
Friday night thru Sunday morning, November 1–3, 2024, in beautiful downtown Atlanta near the Georgia Aquarium, the Olympic Park, Ponce City Market, and many ATL nooks worthy of exploration in your down time.

Quotes From Previous Participants
“The conference equipped me and motivated me to take some steps towards missions locally and possibly globally.”
“We loved being with like-minded believers who love the Lord and embrace missions—and the desire to spread the gospel and glorify God in every tribe, tongue, and nation.”
“The conference demystified some things, solidified my conviction, forced me to see some things in myself, and prompted me to take the next steps toward preparing to go.”
“I’m a campus minister with RUF and I wanted to bring students (we brought 15) to expose them to opportunities and teaching on missions. I am floored by how well done this conference was …”
“It was a thrill to be part of such exuberant, multicultural worship with brothers and sisters from around the world.”

I plan to assist in the exhibit hall. Do I need to pay anything?
Yes. Everyone assisting in the exhibit hall must be signed up as an exhibitor and all exhibitors must register for the conference itself. Contact [email protected] for more information about exhibitors and exhibitor rates.
Does it cost anything for my children to attend?
Teens may register as an attendee at the student rate (while available) or at regular rates thereafter. We do not recommend that young children attend. However, if you must bring them, there will be no charge for infants. If children aged 2 or older will be accompanying you, they should be registered at regular conference prices. For more information about children and teens, see the “Children/Teens” FAQ below.
- Group discounts are automatically applied when you register six or more individuals at the same time.
- If anyone is registering at the student rate or has an admin code, they must be registered separately. The group discount does not apply.
- Make sure you know who is in your group and have all the information you need before you start. Check to see if anyone in your group is gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegetarian. Have unique email addresses for each person in your group.
- Allow yourself sufficient time to register your whole group together.
- Add each individual under “Your Information.” When the first registration is finished, click “add another registrant” to continue registering group members before checking out. After six registrations have been added, the group discount will be applied.
- When you are done, scroll down to the Billing Information and continue with payment.
What if I have a group that includes students?
The group discount only applies to the early bird or regular rate. Students, to get the student discount, must be registered one at a time and cannot be added to a group registration.
Can I register a group at the discounted price without everyone’s names?
Please contact us at [email protected]..
Can I add someone to my group, or put someone who has already registered into my group to get a discount?
Groups must be registered together to receive the discount. Regrettably, previously made registrations cannot count toward the formation of a group or receive the group discount retroactively.
Do I have to register online?
Contact [email protected] or call 678-823-0004 x2415 if you need assistance.
What is the student registration cost?
Full-time students qualify for a discounted rate of $99. Students are also eligible for a single day rate of $49.
Who qualifies as a student?
If being a student is your main vocation (you spend more time at school than at work), then you can use the student rate. If you’re not sure, we’ll leave it up to you.
Can I register a group of students?
Students (at the student discounted rate) must be registered one at a time.
Can students count toward our group registration?
A student registration will not count toward the minimum registrants required to qualify for the group discount.
Through May 31, 2024, registration costs may be refunded, minus a $25 processing fee. After this date registration is not refundable, but transferable to another person. Group member cancelation policy is the same.
