Dear Esteemed Participants,

As we eagerly anticipate the 6th Pan African Brethren Conference on Mission, set to convene in the vibrant city of Harare, Zimbabwe, from the 11th to the 15th of August 2025, we are reminded of the profound journey we are about to embark upon together. This gathering is not merely an event; it is a divine appointment, a moment in time where our paths converge under the banner of faith, fellowship, and the forward march of our mission.

The chosen theme for this year, “Approved to Proclaim – 1 Thessalonians 2v4,” is a powerful reminder of our shared calling and the trust that has been placed in us. To be approved by God to proclaim His message is not only an honor but a profound responsibility. It is a calling that transcends borders, cultures, and languages, uniting us in a common purpose to spread the Gospel and to be light-bearers in a world that yearns for hope.

This theme challenges us to reflect on the authenticity of our mission and the purity of our motives. As Paul the Apostle wrote to the Thessalonians, we too are entrusted with the Gospel, not to please men, but to please God who tests our hearts. In a world where the essence of the message can be clouded by the noise of our times, our conference aims to refocus our vision, to purify our intentions, and to strengthen our resolve to proclaim the unchanging truth of God’s love and salvation.

The city of Harare, with its rich history and resilient spirit, provides the perfect backdrop for our gathering. It is here, in the heart of Zimbabwe, that we will come together to learn, to be inspired, and to encourage one another. This youth-centred conference is a testament to our belief in the transformative power of young believers, equipped and approved by God, to make a difference in their communities and beyond.

As we look forward to unveiling our keynote speakers, who are distinguished not only by their knowledge but by their lived experience of faith in action, let us prepare our hearts and minds for what promises to be a life-changing encounter. Let us come with open hearts, ready to receive mutual encouragement and to be empowered by the Holy Spirit.

In a world in desperate need of the Gospel, our conference stands as a beacon of hope, a call to action, and a reminder of the privilege we have to be approved to proclaim. Let us embrace this call with joy, with humility, and with an unwavering commitment to our mission.

We look forward to welcoming you to Harare in 2025, where together, we will rise to the occasion of our calling, under the gracious will of the Lord.

In Faith and Fellowship,

Lewis Uriri
