PurposeMissions in Focus started in 1962 as the annual "Missions Emphasis Week." In 1976 the name was changed to what we have today--Missions in Focus. MIF serves the Wheaton College campus with a three-day conference every year early in the spring semester. In recognition that missions and evangelism take place in may places and are not limited to lands beyond the borders of the United States, MIF has a three-year rotating focus, alternating between an international, urban, and marketplace emphasis.
The focus for this year's MIF conference is international missions. It is our desire to see the Wheaton campus aware of and excited about God's heart for the nations. Some of the features of the conference will include renowned guest speakers, evening sessions with a variety of speakers and missionaries, a missions fair, and much more. Please join us this year as we engage God's heart for the nations.
Theme verse: Romans 10:13-15
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"
