Proclaim Liberty to the Captives!

A conference about missions, Muslims, and the heart of God.

Welcome to the 2018 Legacy Conference! Legacy is a biannual conference that mobilizes and equips the Church to reveal the love of Jesus Christ to Muslims. In accordance with the teachings of evangelist Samuel Marinus Zwemer, known as the “Apostle to Islam,” Legacy builds and supports a community of church leaders, scholars, pastors, and missionaries who follow the example of Jesus in bringing forth the fruit of the Great Commission.

Biblical Missiology Pre-Conference!
Issues and Approaches in Bible Translation

Wed May 30, 2pm – Thu May 31, 1pm

For the first time ever, the Biblical Missiology society is holding a pre-conference consultation, open to the public. This meeting will be a consultation and strategy session on how to proceed in the field of bible translation, including discussion about forming a new Bible Society based on solid biblical principles and linguistic accuracy.

The pre-conference will begin at 2pm on Wed, May 30, and continue until Legacy Conference begins at 1pm on Thurs, May 31. Attendees are invited to participate in the discussion. Dinner on Wednesday and lunch on Thursday will be available for a nominal fee.

The Muslim world is experiencing great upheaval. More Muslims have accepted Christ in the last decade than in the entire history of Islam.

Due to the recent conflicts in the Middle East, untold numbers of people from Islamic cultures are seeking the truth about God, and missionaries and church planters are finding greater success in spreading the seed of Christ.

Many countries on the European and American continents have welcomed unprecedented numbers of refugees and asylum-seekers.

We increasingly interact with Muslims on a daily basis, and our calling is to understand what obstacles and difficulties can hinder our testimony and walk with new Muslim-background believers.

This three-day gathering features talks, breakout meetings, and Q&A sessions hosted by four of the most respected and prominent leaders in the field of Muslim evangelism. In addition, while Legacy is a necessary resource for anyone involved in reaching out to Muslims, it is also a comprehensive introduction for those who seek a deeper understanding of their calling.
