Watch Party for the GMC Convening Conference - Monday Afternoon

The Global Methodist Church is holding its Convening General Conference in San Jose, Costa Rica. Thousands of people have gathered to celebrate the formation of this new denomination, and to deliberate on how it will be established. This is the fulfillment of many years of prayer and hard work.

We are sitting down in our studio to watch the conference together. As is the case with any gathering of people, it is difficult to understand what is happening if one does not know the history, theology, and personalities involved. We know some of these things and will be trying outline helpful things for an audience to watch with us.

This watch party is NOT an official ministry of the Global Methodist Church. The GMC has not extended permission to us to restream the proceedings. Rather, you need to find the official GMC live stream at https://www.sotheworldwillknow.org/live. You can watch them and watch us at the same time (most people have the bandwidth and processing power for this, nowadays, but we are sorry if you don’t). We are hoping to correspond with people on site in Costa Rica, to offer insights and analysis, and make it a rich viewing, praying, and thinking experience for all who join us.

This is an extension of the ministry of the Nowata Methodist Church. If you want to convey gratitude for this service and provide for a future platform on which we can offer quality content for the worldwide church, then you can either mail a check to PO Box 129, Nowata OK 74048, or you can give online at https://tithe.ly/give?c=2198808.
