What is MIF?
Missions in Focus started in 1962 as an annual “Missions Emphasis Week” on Wheaton College's campus. 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 ours, MIF has a three-year rotating focus, alternating between an international, urban, and marketplace emphasis.
Our Mission
Missions in Focus hosts a Missions conference, focusing on either Urban, International or Marketplace missions which compels the Wheaton College community to be consumed with God’s glory and therefore commit themselves to proclaim the Gospel with their lives.
Our Vision
MIF exists to illuminate the global nature of the Gospel and inspire the campus community to live as impassioned individuals in God’s global mosaic, ALL for the display of His splendor.
How to get involved
Missions in Focus offers a number of programs during the missions week for students, faculty and staff to attend. From evening programs, and a banquet, to breakout sessions and all-school communion, there is something for everyone. Please refer to our schedule page to find a detailed listing of these events. You can also go to our speaker page to find bios about our guest speakers for the conference.
