2026 Conference · Recap
“That the World May Know”
June 28 – July 1, 2026 · Keynote speaker: Dr. Stephen Burke (BIMI)
By God’s grace, our 2026 Missions Conference was a rich and encouraging week for the Grace Community Church family. Under the theme “That the world may know” (John 17:23), we gathered to hear how God is at work among the nations and to renew our own commitment to the Great Commission.
The week began Sunday, June 28, with our morning worship gathering and an International Dinner, and continued Monday through Wednesday evening with missionary reports, testimonies, special music, and sweet fellowship. We were blessed to welcome veteran BIMI missionary Dr. Stephen Burke and his wife, Bonnie, who shared from four decades of service in Southeast Asia.
We give thanks to the Lord for all He accomplished among us during the conference, and we look forward to gathering again next year.

2026 Keynote Speaker
Dr. Stephen Burke
Dr. Stephen Burke is a veteran BIMI missionary who, with his wife, Bonnie, served the Lord for some 40 years in Singapore and Southeast Asia, planting three churches, leading Bible institutes, and training national pastors who now carry on those works. He and Bonnie now serve with BIMI’s ARM (Assistance & Relief Missionaries).
ARM — Assistance & Relief Missionaries
The ARM personnel of BIMI are Assistance & Relief Missionaries — those who have served the Lord faithfully for many years in missions but are no longer able to carry out the rigorous tasks of their previous ministry. They still have a tremendous amount to offer in the work of worldwide evangelization, and are worthy of the prayers and support of local churches.
