Thirty-one pastors and church leaders participated, demonstrating a strong commitment to expanding God's kingdom in the region.

The emphasis was on practical strategies for church growth and discipleship making, empowering participants to effectively share the Gospel and build thriving local churches.
Key Highlights:
· Vision Casting: The event began with a powerful vision casting session, inspiring participants to embrace the challenge of reaching the unreached populations within their provinces.

This call to action was a central theme throughout the event, emphasizing the urgency and importance of expanding God's kingdom in these underserved regions.
Challenges and Opportunities:
· Accessibility: Reaching remote areas presents logistical challenges regarding transportation, communication, and resource allocation. Strategies to overcome these challenges need to be developed and implemented.

· Sustainability: Ensuring the long-term sustainability of newly planted churches requires ongoing support, mentorship, and resource provision. A plan for ongoing support and mentorship should be established.
Recommendations:
· Follow-up Meetings: Regular follow-up meetings with the delegates should be scheduled to provide ongoing support, address challenges, and monitor progress.
· Resource Provision: Provide the necessary resources (financial, material, and human) to support the delegates in their efforts to reach the unreached and plant new churches.
· Ongoing Training: Offer ongoing training and mentorship programs to equip the delegates with the skills and knowledge they need to effectively carry out their ministry.
