The Stewardship and Ministerial Convention of the Southern Asia-Pacific Division will gather pastors and ministry leaders from across the region for a time of spiritual renewal, collaboration, and learning. Anchored on the theme “Building Up His People,” this gathering highlights the vital role pastors play in nurturing the spiritual growth of the church and strengthening the mission entrusted to God’s people.

Pastors serve as shepherds who guide congregations in faith, teach the Word of God, and cultivate communities that reflect Christ’s love. Through faithful stewardship of their calling, leaders help build strong churches where members grow in discipleship, unity, and commitment to God’s mission. This convention provides an opportunity for pastors to reflect on their sacred responsibility as servants of Christ and stewards of the gospel.

Throughout the week, participants will engage in worship, biblical reflection, leadership training, and meaningful dialogue focused on strengthening pastoral ministry and stewardship practices. The gathering will also create space for pastors from different countries, cultures, and ministry contexts to share experiences and encourage one another in the work of building vibrant, mission-focused churches.

The convention draws inspiration from 1 Corinthians 4:1–2 (NIV):
“This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”

As pastors unite under this shared calling, the convention seeks to inspire leaders to continue building up God’s people—equipping believers, strengthening communities of faith, and advancing the mission of Christ across the diverse territories of the Southern Asia-Pacific Division.
