How can God raise true beauty from the ashes of a broken childhood? When a girly girl overflows with a passion for the nations, whose lives are changed? What can emerge when God puts together the ministries and giftings of an emergency room physician and a sold-out missionary? Why would an already-busy mom of four step into a new and anointed calling? Meet Peggy Nunley, president of Awe Star Missions, and you’ll “see the unseen” as her life and words reveal the answers to these questions. Missions has been a part of Peggy’s life since she was 15 years old and a part of the first team Walker Moore took to the mission field as a part of his brand-new ministry, Awe Star. For 10 years, Peggy served with Awe Star, first as a student and then as director of missions. In August 2018, she stepped up and away from her home state of Indiana to take Walker’s place as the organization's new president. God’s call has taken Peggy to over 35 nations. In Africa, she assisted church-planting pastors in The Gambia, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau and Nigeria. She has worked with the underground church in Egypt, Sudan and Afghanistan; trekked among the world’s most primitive unreached peoples of Uganda; and counseled imprisoned women in Panama and diverse parts of Africa. Traveling both stateside and abroad, Peggy challenges believers to be on mission with Christ by taking bold steps of obedience wherever God has placed them. Her passion is to see the glory and fame of King Jesus restored among all nations, tribes and peoples, and she believes the local church is God's means to restore hope to the hopeless and fulfill the Great Commission. When students and adults alike hear Peggy speak, their response is to want what she has: a deep relationship with God. An unwavering commitment to carrying out the Great Commission. And a deep love for both Jesus and her family that underlies everything she undertakes. At iGO 2019, not only will you hear from Peggy, but you’ll hear the Lord speaking through her in a way that will surprise, bless and challenge you as He reveals Himself through her. Expect the unexpected as you prepare to see the unseen! The time is NOW to make room on your calendar and register for iGO 2019, Nov. 4-5, 2019 at Evergreen Baptist Church in Bixby, Oklahoma.

It sounds like a tragedy in the making: A young African boy loses both parents at an early age. He and his brother end up in an orphanage, where they spend the rest of their growing-up years. Like most orphans, he has many obstacles to overcome, and he must do so in a third-world country. But the reality of Anyway Mupesewa’s story is not tragic at all. Eden Children’s Village, the orphanage that became his home, had Christ at its center. Not only did Mupesewa receive Christ at an early age, but God also commissioned him to spread the gospel. From the time he was old enough to read the Bible, he took the Great Commission as his personal mandate. He became an avid soul-winner who earned the nickname of “Evangelist.” Mupesewa earned his bachelor’s in youth ministry and preaching from Johnson University in Knoxville, Tennessee, and has recently earned his master’s as well. His education and discipleship by godly mentors have equipped him to pursue his passion of taking the gospel to his home country. “Salvation is man’s greatest need, and I have been commissioned to fulfill this need beginning in Zimbabwe,” Mupesewa says.”Nothing can substitute for the calling God has placed on my heart. I dream of a day when Zimbabweans will not only make disciples among themselves, but send out missionaries to our neighboring countries, or rather to the ends of the world.” At iGO 2019, Nov. 8-9 at Evergreen Baptist Church in Bixby, Oklahoma, you'll have the opportunity to experience Mupesewa’s powerful preaching as well as his teaching in workshop settings. Come and allow the Holy Spirit to help you “see the unseen” through the eyes of an African orphan with a soul on fire for God and for taking the gospel to the nations.

Where can you meet someone … --who spent the first part of her growing-up years in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and United Arab Emirates)? —who followed the Muslim religion for 35 years until she became a Christian when she saw the chapter about Isa (Jesus) in the Qran? --who has a passion for seeing Muslims come to Christ? --who loves to teach non-Muslims strategies to share the gospel with them? You’ve no doubt guessed it by now: iGO2019, where Monah Saba will be one of our keynote speakers! Muslims and the Muslim religion are often in the news these days. But what if we learned to see these followers of Islam not as a group but as individuals who need the hope of Jesus as much as we do? What if we learned strategies, techniques and “best practices” for sharing the gospel with them in the most effective ways? What if God laid it on your heart to minister to the Muslim next door, down the block, in your high school classroom or college dorm? There are many reasons to attend iGO 2019, Nov. 8-9 at Evergreen Baptist Church in Bixby, Oklahoma. Having the opportunity to sit under Monah’s teaching is a big one. The next time you hear about Muslims in the news, remember Monah and how the Lord changed her life. He may just want to use you to change someone else’s.
