Mission Fest Vancouver 2024
This event has already ended.
Our theme this year is Together With Him.
In Mark’s Gospel we read,
And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen. —Mark 16:20
The Great Commission is not about our going but about it being a co-mission, a co-partnership with Him. Learning to recognize and respond to a real person whose Kingdom comes where the King is—that’s what our calling is all about. Our core conviction for the conference is that Jesus is someone to encounter, to hear, to love, to listen to, and to recognize as the One who’s with us as we go.
Speakers for Mission Fest Vancouver 2024
This year, we were led to invite keynote speakers who are our friends. They all have an affection for one another and carry the conviction that Jesus is a person who, when we give Him space to move, can do more than we could imagine, here and around the world. I wrote their bios below with the above in my heart. We say here at Mission Central, “Who you do life with is more important than what you do.”

Matt Menzel

burns like a fire that warms everyone and scares hell. He is the most
consistent friend I have ever had. He doesn’t waste words or take His
calling lightly. He is…
Ryan Johnson
“Ryan Johnson has walked with Jesus to the cross like no pastor I
have ever met. He’s taught me how to die to self and care about one
thing: Jesus. Christ and Him crucified is the legacy of this man. Ryan
