This year’s conference theme is ENGAGE. We believe that Great Commission engagement is for every follower of Jesus. The annual Send Cola Missions Conference will bring together the greater Columbia area to unite in God's mission to make disciples of all nations. This will be a time of hearing God’s heart for the nations unfolded throughout the redemptive storyline of Scripture. Each participant, no matter age or stage, will be encouraged as a follower of Jesus to find their place in the mission of God.

This conference is for everyone! Every follower of Jesus has unique gifts and skills that are essential for God's global purposes. We want all believers to find their place in God's plan in reaching all nations of the earth!

There is One King and one Kingdom! We want to see less Christian tribalism and more partnership! Let's all work together!

Speaker:  Steve Richardson

Steve Richardson has served as president of Pioneers-USA since 1999. Pioneers mobilizes and supports 3,200 missionaries and marketplace professionals who impact 500 unreached people groups in 95 countries.

Steve was raised in Indonesia, where his parents planted churches in a jungle tribe. He witnessed the impact of the gospel on their war-like society, a story documented in his father’s missionary classic, Peace Child. Steve and his wife, Arlene, also spent 11 years planting churches among an unreached people group in Southeast Asia.

The Richardsons now live in Orlando, Florida and have been blessed with four daughters and 13 grandchildren.

Worship:  Generate Worship + Refuge City Records

Generate Worship is a monthly gathering of young adults. Our mission is to spread the message and love of Jesus across the city of Columbia.

We are currently partnered with three young adult ministries: CREW at Christian Life Church, CityWide at Sandhills Community Church, and Crossroads Young Adults at Columbia Crossroads Church.

Refuge City Records is an independent Christian label that desires to empower a culture where musical artists have creative freedom & support to be "musicianaries" beyond the church.

Our hearts are to write, record, and perform songs with lived testimonies—songs that tell a story of how God brought these artists to or through a season, or how He brought them to a greater understanding of who He is.

By performing these songs in the public square, we ask the church to partner with us by bringing unbelievers to these concerts to hear the gospel through these testimonial songs and enjoy some good music in the process.
