We are pleased to announce the first reformed missions conference organized by Lighthouse Community Church on Saturday, November 1, 2025 here in Stephenville, Texas.
We invite you to come and join us at the Barry B. Thompson Student Center on the beautiful campus of Tarleton State University for a day filled with great worship, prayer, and inspiration from God's Word on reaching the unreached with the gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Ethnos Con25 is a gathering of like-minded Christians passionate about reaching the unreached with the gospel. Immerse yourself in plenary sessions, breakout sessions and the worship sessions and be inspired to play your part in the task of taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to the unreached peoples of the world to the glory of glory of God.
Whether you are a seasoned believer or a baby Christian, Ethnos Con25 is for you. Come and worship with likeminded believers, make new friends, learn about what God is doing around the world, and leave with a heart full of of joy, inspired to take your place in the fulfilment of the Great Commission through Jesus Christ.
Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to connect with likeminded believers at Ethnos Con25 where we will gather to prayerfully consider from God’s Word the urgency of taking the gospel to the unreached peoples of the world. Various speakers and missionaries (past and present), will help us think through this from God’s Word and from their own experiences on the mission field.
Graham Jones and Skye Peterson (check out their music videos below), will be joining us and leading us in singing praises to our Triune God at this conference. We have intentionally set aside time for hearty, Christ-centered, Word-saturated worship to the LORD our God. We believe that worshipping in songs to the LORD is an integral part of fighting the good fight of faith and pushing back the darkness in the world and in our hearts. So, come ready to belt out God’s praises as we join our voices in singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to the glory of God.

My aim is to preach the gospel where Christ has not been named, so that I will not build on someone else’s foundation, but, as it is written, "Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand." (Romans 15:20-21)
“I’m not afraid of failure; I’m afraid of succeeding at things that don’t matter.”
(William Carey)
“The church that does not evangelize will fossilize.”(Oswald J. Smith)
“A good missionary is a good theologian. A good theologian is a good missionary.”
(John Calvin)
“Only one life, ’twill soon be past; Only what’s done for Christ will last.” (C.T. Studd)
“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!” (Abraham Kuyper)

David Sitton is passionate for unreached tribes in Papua New Guinea and beyond. He is the author of Reckless Abandon in which he shares his experiences as a modern-day gospel pioneer's exploits among the most difficult to reach peoples. Reckless is right when the cause is Christ. God catapulted 20-year-old David Sitton from the beaches of south Texas to the stone-aged tribes in Papua New Guinea. Sitton traded sand and surf for cannibals, giant mosquitoes, crocodile-infested swamps, malaria, and a hostile sorceress in order to advance the Good News of Jesus among unreached peoples. Reckless Abandon is a bare-knuckled dare to count the cost and seize the privilege of working with Christ in His worldwide mission.

iGo Global is passionate about students learning how to live on mission wherever they are. Before flying overseas, each student receives training that not only equips them for their trip, but also for a lifetime of making God famous.
Because iGo is committed to the completion of the Great Commission, we focus on sending students to the least reached peoples on the planet.
Since iGo Global is an intra-church organization, we partner with and are sent by local churches. Rather than replacing or competing with churches, iGo seeks to be a vehicle that local churches use to train and mobilize the next generation to Make Him Famous.

Reaching & Teaching is a missions organization that assists local churches as they seek to make mature disciples, establish healthy churches, and train local leaders around the world.
We believe that the local church is both the means and the end of biblical missions. We desire to serve local churches as they send missionaries around the world.
Reaching & Teaching serves like-minded churches who cooperate to send reformed, baptistic, and complementarian global workers to plant churches all over the world, from unreached language groups to global cities. We partner together to train leaders and revitalize churches in extremely needy areas.
We send and support missionaries to share the gospel, make disciples, and plant churches where Jesus is not known.
Until the gospel has reached every people, in every place, and every language—we have work to do. This is the Great Pursuit.

In most of the UK they are known as council estates, in the US they are regarded as the projects, but in Scotland they are called schemes.
Drug and alcohol addiction is rampant, and many in the schemes either use or deal, or both. Both illegal and legal drugs make their rounds, and there are many drug deaths as a result.
Most living in Scotland’s schemes are spiritually dead and will never be reached by the church, and therefore will never hear the gospel. We believe that gospel-preaching local churches are the best way to reach the dying souls in the schemes for Christ.
