KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Rico Tice

Co Founder, Christianity Explored

Rico Tice is a passionate evangelist and former senior minister of evangelism at All Souls Langham Place in London. Cofounder of Christianity Explored Ministries, he is a regular speaker at missions and evangelistic events around the world. He’s the author of two books about understanding the gospel and sharing it with others, “Honest Evangelism” and “Capturing God.”

Rico’s life’s work is to inspire believers to share their faith in Jesus.

He joined All Souls in 1994 during the later years of John Stott (while Richard Bewes was rector), finding  himself in his dream role focused on introducing the gospel to those who come through the doors of the central London church.

After 28 years at All Souls, Rico joined Christianity Explored Ministries full time in September 2023.

While at All Souls Rico developed the “Christianity Explored” course, which encourages Christians to open up the Gospel of Mark with their friends and allow Jesus to reveal Himself through this book. Rico saw that Mark’s gospel clearly outlines Jesus’ identity, mission, and call, providing a good understanding of what a life with Jesus looks like.

In Rico’s words: “I want to spend the rest of my life quite simply helping as many people as possible meet the Lord Jesus as He walks off the pages of Mark’s gospel.”

Jonathan I.

International Director, MTW

Jonathan** is a missionary and church planter, currently serving with MTW as the international director for the Asia-Pacific region of the world. Prior to this, he was the founding pastor of New City Fellowship, a small Presbyterian church in a large South Asian city.

The son of missionaries, Jonathan was born in the United States but grew up in Japan. He studied foreign affairs at the University of Virginia (B.A.) and theology at Reformed Theological Seminary (M.Div.). From evangelism in the concrete jungles of North Africa to disaster relief on the shores of Sri Lanka, Jonathan’s own missionary journey has given him a deep longing to see Jesus worshiped and churches planted among the least reached peoples of the world.

Jonathan is married to Maggie and they have six daughters and a buoyant golden retriever. They currently live in Chiba, Japan.

**Jonathan's full name and picture are withheld for security reasons.

Russ Whitfield

Pastor, Grace Mosaic, D.C.

Russ Whitfield is the founding pastor of Grace Mosaic, a dynamic church in Washington, D.C., that he is delighted to be leading into its second decade of existence.

After growing up in the church as a pastor’s son and walking away from the faith, he was rescued by God on the campus of New York University. Russ sensed a call to ministry and pursued theological education in Dallas, Texas. While there, Russ, started his ministry at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship under the leadership of Dr. Tony Evans and went on to serve at Park Cities Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas.

In 2009 he was called by The Grace D.C. Network to serve as an assistant pastor of the network’s first congregation, Grace Downtown. In 2013, he teamed up with a wonderful group of people to plant Grace Mosaic.

Russ also serves as the assistant coordinator of cross-cultural advancement for Reformed University Fellowship and he is a guest lecturer in practical theology at Reformed Theological Seminary’s Washington, D.C., campus.

Russ has contributed to books and theological journals and he is deeply committed to the work of hospitality, starting Altar Call BBQ and cofounding The Welcome Table in hopes of helping estranged neighbors to find their way back to one another.

He loves making music and he’s having the time of his life raising four fun-loving children with his lovely wife.

Lloyd Kim

MTW Coordinator

Lloyd Kim has been coordinator of Mission to the World since 2015.

A native of California, he graduated from U.C. Berkeley with a degree in engineering and worked as a consultant with Ernst & Young before getting his M.Div. at Westminster Seminary in California and his doctorate in New Testament studies at Fuller Theological Seminary. He was associate pastor with New Life Mission Church (PCA) in Fullerton, California, before joining MTW.

Lloyd and his wife, Eda, served as missionaries with MTW beginning in 2004 in the Philippines and then in Cambodia, where they started a new church-planting work which grew to a team of 20 working in multiple sites. Eda worked part-time as a physician at a Christian clinic in Phnom Penh, which treated patients connected to their church-planting work. She also mentored medical students and homeschooled their children. She now serves as a doctor in Lawrenceville, Georgia. 

Lloyd served as MTW’s international director of the Asia-Pacific region before his nomination as MTW coordinator in July of 2014. The Kims have three children: Kaelyn (married to David Wu), Christian, and Katy. They live in Lilburn, Georgia.

Quotes from Previous GMC Attendees

“We loved being with like-minded believers who love the Lord and embrace missions—and the desire to spread the gospel and glorify God in every tribe, tongue, and nation.”

“I’m a campus minister with RUF and I wanted to bring students (we brought 15) to expose them to opportunities and teaching on missions. I am floored by how well done this conference was …”

“The conference equipped me and motivated me to take some steps towards missions locally and possibly globally.”

“It was a thrill to be part of such exuberant, multicultural worship with brothers and sisters from around the world.”

“The conference demystified some things, solidified my conviction, forced me to see some things in myself, and prompted me to take the next steps toward preparing to go.”

Does it cost anything for my children to attend?

Teens may register as an attendee at the student rate (while available) or at regular rates thereafter. We do not recommend that young children attend. However, if you must bring them, there will be no charge for infants. If children aged 2 or older will be accompanying you, they should be registered at regular conference prices. For more information about children and teens, see the “Children/Teens” FAQ below.

Group Registration
How do I register my group?
  • Group discounts are automatically applied when you register six or more individuals at the same time.
  • If anyone is registering at the student rate or has an admin code, they must be registered separately. The group discount does not apply.
  • Make sure you know who is in your group and have all the information you need before you start. Check to see if anyone in your group is gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegetarian. Have unique email addresses for each person in your group.
  • Allow yourself sufficient time to register your whole group together.
  • Add each individual under “Your Information.” When the first registration is finished, click “add another registrant” to continue registering group members before checking out. After six registrations have been added, the group discount will be applied.
  • When you are done, scroll down to the Billing Information and continue with payment.

What if I have a group that includes students?

The group discount only applies to the early bird or regular rate. Students, to get the student discount, must be registered one at a time and cannot be added to a group registration.

Can I register a group at the discounted price without everyone’s names?

Please contact us at [email protected]..

Can I add someone to my group, or put someone who has already registered into my group to get a discount?

Groups must be registered together to receive the discount. Regrettably, previously made registrations cannot count toward the formation of a group or receive the group discount retroactively.

Can I register a group of students?

Students (at the student discounted rate) must be registered one at a time.

Can students count toward our group registration?

A student registration will not count toward the minimum registrants required to qualify for the group discount.

Promote
How can I promote the conference?

Thank you for helping spread the word! We have a few ideas but do what’s natural for you.

  • Talk to people. A genuine, personal invitation is usually the most effective way to generate interest. Make plans to attend and invite others to come with you.
  • Advertise! Feel free to use the promotional materials that are available under Promote/Spread the Word.
  • Use the website. Direct people to mtw.org/gmc. In addition to registration, this is where the most current and detailed conference information can always be found. 
  • Use social media. Share our posts! Follow MTW on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @mtwglobal. Tag us in your posts as well.
  • Use our one-minute promotional video, available to show, embed, or download.
  • Announce it! Include a short announcement in a worship guide, bulletin, or newsletter.
