Missions Conference 2010

Here at Moody Distance Learning, we love connecting our students with one another and ministries around the world, mostly using the technology of social media. This week, on-campus students are attending Moody’s annual Mission Conference, and while the event is not open to the public, we’d still like to share some of the organizations represented with our online students.

Mission Conference is divided into main sessions and breakout sessions. Main sessions feature keynote speakers and involve the entire student body. For breakout sessions, students are given a choice of which one they want to attend. Our main session featured the following speakers and organizations. We’ve posted their social media links so you can further connect with them:

Sky Jethani http://www.skyejethani.com
Dr. David Garrison http://www.churchplantingmovements.com/

We had over 35 organizations represented for breakout sessions, here are links to a few of them that are using social media to connect with the rest of the world:
