2022 Missions Conference
Theme: Pray, Give, Go
Speaker: Dr. Richard Pratt
Project: Hygiene Kits & Prayer Walk
Instead of packing everything into one weekend, we’re going to spread things out over one month between February 20 and March 27.
We’ll devote the videos in the Wednesday Update, Missions Moments each week during the worship service, and maybe even videos in Coming Sunday Update to let you hear from our missionaries.

About Dr. Richard Pratt
Dr. Richard Pratt is the President of Thirdmill (thirdmill.org). Dr. Pratt taught at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS, and Orlando, FL, for 21 years. He also chaired the Old Testament Department in Orlando. He received a BA from Roanoke College, his M.Div. from Union Theological Seminary, and his Th.D. from Harvard University. Dr. Pratt has traveled extensively throughout the world to evangelize and lecture, including Australia, China, Czech Republic, Ecuador, Indonesia, Mexico, Mongolia, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Turkey, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, India, Colombia, the United Kingdom and throughout the United States.
Dr. Pratt served as the General Editor for the NIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible. Dr. Pratt’s books include Every Thought Captive, Pray With Your Eyes Open, Designed for Dignity, and He Gave Us Stories, as well as two commentaries: one on I and II Chronicles and the other on I and II Corinthians. His books have been translated into several languages including Chinese (Mandarin), Russian and Spanish. Dr. Pratt is also a contributor to the Complete Literary Guide to the Bible and has authored numerous journal articles.
Thirdmill was launched in response to the lack of training of Christian leaders around the world. Thirdmill recognizes where the church is growing the fastest, those Christian leaders have the least amount of training. Dr. Pratt personally witnessed this in the 1980’s as he traveled for missions. Helping the church worldwide became his passion. Thirdmill was launched in 1997 to provide: “Biblical Education, For the World, For Free.” This goal is being met by building a multimedia seminary curriculum in English, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Russian and Spanish. These lessons are recorded and designed in house and are similar to the style of what one might see on the History Channel. The policy of Thirdmill is to provide free materials to those in need.
