Send an African Leader to GCoMM 2018!

The Event

  • What:  The Global Consultation on Music and Missions 
  • When:  August 6-9, 2018 
  • Where:  Brackenhurst Retreat Centre, Tigoni, Kenya (just outside of Nairobi)

What is GCoMM?

Several hundred missionaries, artists, students, and mission leaders from around the world will gather for four days of God-centered plenary and break-out sessions, networking, panel discussions, dialogue, resource sharing, and worshipful presentations, with the goal of exploring and celebrating how God is drawing the nations to Himself through music and artistic expression.

Will you help African leaders to be there too?

The Need

This will be the fifth GCoMM event and the first one on the African continent!  Nairobi will be a wonderful host city, not only to mission and ministry leaders from all over the world, but also to a number of different African artist groups and teams slated to join the consultation.

The cost of attending such an event, however, is out of reach for many local pastors, artists, and missionaries.  A gift from you will go a long way toward enabling African leaders to attend, contribute to, and learn from the other international participants.  You will help make it possible for the voices of Africa to enter into the growing dialogue about how local Christian musicians and artists may be encouraged and empowered to use their own "heart" music and art forms to impact their communities with the truths of Scripture. 

Fundraising Goal

The cost for one person to attend (fully funded with registration fees, room, and board) is US $420.  Of this amount, $120 goes toward the cost of facilitating the event and $300 goes toward room and board. Participants will be responsible for their own travel costs to and from the Retreat Centre location, unless additional funds are received for this purpose.

 Our goal is to fully fund 50 key participants from African countries at a total cost of US$21,000.

By sending an African Leader to GCoMM, you'll give them the unique opportunity to

  • Join with Christian leaders, music makers, and creators of drama, dance, and art from around the world 
  • Learn how to use culturally relevant music and other art forms to reach and encourage others with the Good News
  • Share resources, knowledge, and experiences with like-minded believers from both similar and diverse geographic areas
  • Celebrate God's manifold wisdom through multi-ethnic praise

What People Are Saying...

“We had a little glimpse of what heaven is like when people of different nations worship and share the heartbeat of God together. Well done! Shalom!”  2010 Participant

“The most meaningful aspect of the consultation for me was the quality of the teaching. It was an excellent mix of field practitioners, academics and pastors.”  Dr. John Piper
