“Jesus went up on the mountainside and called to Him those He wanted, and they came to Him. He appointed twelve – designating them apostles – that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach.” Mark 3:13-14

The 2011 Global Leadership Conference (GLC) is the annual gathering of the leadership of the SoldOut Discipling Movement. Since God’s movement is expanding rapidly – both numerically and geographically – the goal of each GLC is to provide leadership training, to forge relationships in our growing global leadership team, and to reaffirm our motivating vision of “the evangelization of the nations in THIS generation.” This year’s exciting theme for the GLC is THE CALLING.

The 2011 Global Leadership Conference will begin at 9AM on Sunday morning August 21, 2011. Gathered that morning will be not only the City of Angels Church in Los Angeles, but also all of the disciples of our sister churches in Phoenix and San Diego. The predicted 400 participants of the GLC from around the world will join this collective Sunday Worship Service to praise God and to kick-off the conference! Sunday afternoon will serve as an extended fellowship opportunity. Then that evening for the 400, the Global Leadership Conference Program continues with a scrumptious banquet and the theme speech – The Calling. Monday will be dedicated to other speeches, as well as classes and workshops that are focused on leadership training for specific roles. Tuesday morning, the brothers and sisters will meet separately to address various needs. Then the closing speech – Called To Follow In His Steps – will send us “into all the world” and the conference will conclude around 1PM. Every event of the GLC will be held at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Hotel in Garden Grove, California.

Any disciple may register for the 2011 Global Leadership Conference at the City of Angels International Christian Church website: www.CAICC.net. The registration fee is $150.

During what promises to be an historic and momentous Global Leadership Conference, there will be many highlights! One of the highlights will be the appointments of more Evangelists and Women’s Ministry Leaders at any one event, than even in “the glory days” of our former fellowship. Another highlight at the collective Sunday Morning Worship Service will be the Spirit sending-out of the third Crown of Thorns Mission Team to Sao Paulo, Brazil! Please be earnestly praying that the 2011 Global Leadership Conference will glorify and honor our God, as we obey THE CALLING of His voice to go to all nations!

We believe that the SoldOut Movement is not merely a family of churches, but is the modern day movement of God! The theme of THE CALLING will deepen our conviction that every disciple is “to live a life worthy of the calling [that he] has received.” (Ephesians 4:1) This challenging theme will also remind those of us in the full-time ministry that serving God in this capacity is not a job, but is the very calling of God! In the Scriptures, the voice of God was silenced only when the man of God refused to listen. Therefore, to be an Evangelist, Women’s Ministry Leader, Shepherd, Administrator or Deacon is a life-long calling. Also as Jesus called the Twelve, we are urging every young person to attend who may sense that God is calling them into the full-time ministry. Finally, the theme of THE CALLING is vital at this hour as suffering and persecution will only intensify as our numbers increase and the frontiers where the Spirit leads us grow in difficulty.

It is inevitable that the wrath of the world and the fury of Satan will likewise escalate. As Peter reminds us, “To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps.” (1 Peter 2:21) What an incredible theme for this year’s historic and momentous Global Leadership Conference!

The 2011 Global Leadership Conference will begin at 9AM on Sunday morning August 21, 2011. Gathered that morning will be not only the City of Angels Church in Los Angeles, but also all of the disciples of our sister churches in Phoenix and San Diego. The predicted 300 participants of the GLC from around the world will join this collective Sunday Worship Service to praise God and to kick-off the conference! Sunday afternoon will serve as an extended fellowship opportunity. Then that evening for the 300, the Global Leadership Conference Program continues with a scrumptious banquet and the theme speech – The Calling. Monday will be dedicated to other speeches, as well as classes and workshops that are focused on leadership training for specific roles. Tuesday morning, the brothers and sisters will meet separately to address various needs. Then the closing speech – Called To Follow In His Steps – will send us “into all the world” and the conference will conclude around 1PM.

Last year for the 2010 World Missions Jubilee, the registration was $90 for the Jubilee and $20 more for the banquet of all the leaders. The overnight price at the Universal City Hilton was $129/ night – totaling at $516 for the four nights of the Jubilee. This year the overall cost for the conference will be significantly less if you are staying at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The cost per night is an amazing $99! Therefore since the GLC is only three nights, your total room cost is $297 – very affordable with up to four in a room “splitting this cost!”
This year’s banquet is included in the registration fee which is $150! It was great to bring our families last year to the Jubilee as the Hilton was situated by Universal Studios. This year for the GLC, our families can enjoy Disneyland as it is a mile from the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Since we have secured such favorable room rates with the promise to the Hyatt Regency Hotel of booking at least 270 room nights, we are asking everyone that has the ability to please stay at the Hyatt. You may register for the 2011 Global Leadership Conference at the City of Angels International Christian Church website: www.CAICC.net. On the Global Leadership Conference Webpage, a separate link to the Hyatt Regency Hotel will allow you to register for your room nights as well.

One note, if you are flying into LA, we highly recommend that to fly into the John Wayne Airport in Orange County rather than LAX in Los Angeles County. Located in Orange County, the Hyatt Regency Hotel is just 15 minutes from the John Wayne Airport, but the drive could be well over an hour from LAX. Special thanks go to Carlos Mejia who has made these arrangements. Also thanks to Tim Kernan who is the Director of this year’s GLC.

During the 2011 Global Leadership Conference there will be many highlights. One of the highlights will be the appointments of more Evangelists and Women’s Ministry Leaders at any one event, than even in “the glory days” of our former fellowship. Another highlight at the collective Sunday Morning Worship Service will be the sending out of the third Crown of Thorns Mission Team to Sao Paulo, Brazil! Please be earnestly praying that this year’s Global Leadership Conference will glorify God as we obey THE CALLING of His voice to go to all nations!

August 2 – 4, 2009

“Go into all the world” was Jesus’ last challenge to the faithful eleven. Before most of them would die for the cause, the Spirit – through Paul – confirms their obedience, “All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing… This gospel has been proclaimed to every creature under Heaven.” (Colossians 1:6, 23) The great commission was not only the motivating vision for the first century church, but also it is our dream for the twenty-first century church! Biannually, the SoldOut Movement Churches celebrate a Jubilee where all the disciples in God’s new movement from all over the world strive to come together in Los Angeles. In the alternating years, a Global Leadership Conference convenes in different cities. (Lord willing, in 2011, we will meet in London, England!) This year, we are focusing on campus ministry and have called a special Campus Congress. Prayerfully, our college students worldwide will draw closer to God and to each other, thus forging relationships that will last a lifetime, and knit God’s movement with the bonds of love. For Sunday Worship on August 2, 2009, the Global Leadership Conference and the Campus Congress will meet with the City of Angels Church. In the evening, there will be a delicious banquet for all the participants of the Conference and the Congress. Monday, we will meet in separate seminars. Tuesday morning, we will all be back together for the Men’s and Women’s Programs and the concluding inspirational charge to “go into all the world!”

Registration for both the Global Leadership Conference and the Campus Congress is $95. Registration for most participants will be administrated by the church leadership in each of our congregations. However, if you are not a member of one of our congregations and would enjoy attending, please email Michele Williamson for more information at michele.williamson@gmail.com or call 503-320-7760. Accommodations for these days, is the responsibility of each participant. The Sheraton is offering an incredible deal of $129 per night for the nights during the conference, as well as three days prior and three days after this event. To receive this discount you may register online at: this hotel site or call 1-800-325-3535 and ask for the Global Leadership Conference rate. Let us pray that this historic gathering will greatly accelerate the evangelization of the nations in this generation! And to God be the glory! – Kip McKean
