Marana, AZ
October 8–11

At this year’s forWORD gathering, we will explore what it means to pursue a future where all people know God speaks their language and desires a relationship with them. From October 8–11, we will enjoy time together at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, in beautiful Marana, Arizona. This picturesque property is surrounded by desert mountains and vast night skies that remind us of Psalm 19:1: “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork” (ESV).

From hearing the powerful testimonies of our Bible translation partners to enjoying times of inspirational worship and prayer, you will find ample opportunity for personal renewal while meeting many who, like you, long to see God’s Word transforming lives in every language in this generation.
