• Location:
  Christ Chapel, Cornerstone University , 1001 E Beltline Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525

Grand Rapids, MI — Wisdom Conversations national guest panelists include Ayaan Hirsi Ali, research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and founder of the AHA Foundation; Edward Graham, chief operating officer for Samaritan’s Purse and the youngest son of Franklin Graham; Georges Houssney, founder and president of Horizons International, a global missions organization; and Dr. Matthew Lucas, president and CEO of Our Daily Bread Ministries. Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riaño, president of Cornerstone University, will moderate the crucial conversation.

Discussion Issues Include:

The global landscape is volatile and uncertain. Social, political, and religious conflicts have destabilized nations, and wars have currently displaced over 100 million people, including 43 million children.

• As geopolitical, economic, and humanitarian crises escalate, how can the gospel and Christianity bring healing to nations?
• What is the status of the gospel in American churches and the future role of evangelism as Christianity declines in America and grows worldwide?
• How can American churches offer the pure, redemptive gospel of Jesus Christ as a unifying global force for God’s purposes?
• What is the vital connection of the gospel, Christianity and American churches to the whole world?
• What’s at stake to civilization without the gospel of hope and reconciliation to God?
