It is with great joy that we invite you to the 13th AWF Quadrennial Conference, to be held at the Sultani River Hotel in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, from October 8-12, 2025. Our theme this year is “Going Together” - a powerful call to strengthen our identity and mission as we collaborate across our global Alliance family.
In his New Year's message, President Jura Yanagihara highlights the Alliance World Fellowship’s (AWF) enduring mission over the past 50 years, celebrating the unity and collaboration of Alliance National Churches in fulfilling the Great Commission as a sacred calling. While recognizing the difficulties posed by a rapidly evolving global landscape—marked by economic instability, conflicts, humanitarian emergencies, and environmental challenges—he reaffirms the AWF’s unwavering dedication to proclaiming the gospel and compassionately serving communities in need.
Nepal and South Korea are now members of the Alliance World Fellowship, welcomed at the AWF Quadrennial Convocation in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The revised Statement of Faith and the Guayaquil Manifesto were approved amid a unifying atmosphere at the business sessions. The AWF officers for the next term were elected and all proposals were approved as presented.
The first AWF Quadrennial Convocation in the middle of a global pandemic took place in Milagro, Ecuador. Around 300 registered delegates were welcomed by more than 200 volunteers from the Milagro Central Alliance Church and the Ecuadorian C&MA to form a beautiful expression of the global Alliance family. We could experience the richness of being one, formed by many races, languages and colors, united in Jesus Christ, our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King. The unity in diversity. The unity of the Spirit that comes from sanctification. The unity that mobilizes the Alliance family to God’s mission. This was a wonderful experience.
Seventy-five women from five AWF regions attended the AWF Global Network of Alliance Women’s virtual gathering on June 9, 2021. Thanks to our Heavenly Father, it was a success and a blessing! Pray that this ministry reaches even more women across our global family.
The AWF Executive Committee has confirmed the AWF Quadrennial Convocation for October 19-23, 2021 in Ecuador. The meeting will be held at the Central Milagro Alliance Church, in a city adjacent to Guayaquil. Please pray for all the necessary preparations for a Spirit-filled, dynamic and safe gathering with participants from all over the world.
The second wave of COVID-19 in India is taking a toll not only in its healthcare system and the economy, but on the lives of the people. Pray for our Alliance family in India. May the church bring hope and shine the light of Christ in the midst of darkness.
