WATCH GO CONFERENCE SESSIONS To watch the GO Conference sessions and other past chapel messages in the chapel archives, visit cedarville.edu/chapel. The GO Conference, held the first week of every spring semester, encourages students to live out the Great Commission by sharing the Gospel across the world. This year’s GO Conference, delayed by a day due to a snowstorm, connected students with mission organizations and local and global ministries. The conference featured chapel speakers, missionary panels, and interactive sessions designed to educate students on the Church's role in missions and equip them to live on-mission in their own communities and across the globe. JOSH BOWMAN Dr. Josh Bowman served as a church planter and strengthener in Zambia and South Asia before joining the Cedarville University faculty as an Assistant Professor of Missions and Theology. To kick off GO Conference, Dr. Bowman spoke about the importance of sending to God’s mission. He reminded students the Church is called to proclaim the Gospel, send laborers, and advance worship. Dr. Bowman challenged students to get involved in their churches and to go wherever God calls them to fulfill the Great Commission. MATT BENNETT Dr. Matt Bennett became an Associate Professor of Missions and Theology at Cedarville after having served in North Africa and the Middle East since 2011. Dr. Bennett shared that God’s eternal purposes are realized in Christ and shared through the Church. As beings created to bring God glory, our deepest desires are satisfied in Him. Dr. Bennett urged students to seek out counsel on how to be involved in God’s mission. Dr. Bennett’s recent book, Before You Go: Wisdom From Ten Men on Serving Internationally, was released in 2024. A companion book written by his wife, Emily Bennett, is also available. STEPHEN DYE After 23 years as a missionary in Berlin, Germany, Dr. Stephen Dye ’89 returned to his home state of Ohio in 2024 to begin serving as the Associate Vice President for Christian Ministries at Cedarville University. To close out GO Conference, Dr. Dye shared the message that the Church's mission is rooted in its eternal destiny described in Revelation. The Church is called to live in holiness, engage in global missions, and invite others to worship Jesus, fulfilling an upward and outward call. Dye encouraged students to actively participate in God’s mission while anticipating Christ's return. CHAPEL NOTES 32
