Cancun, Mexico
“I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness”
Homeward celebrates those who fully devote their lives to fulfilling the Great Commission.
Homeward is a free conference experience which gathers, celebrates, and strengthens missionaries and evangelists devoted to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Held at an oceanfront resort in the heart of the Mexican Caribbean, Homeward Conference 2024 will feature six days of sun, fun, food, friends, games, and day-and-night worship, praise, prayer, teaching, workshops, and impartation.
Registration is by invitation only and complimentary to invited ministers and their families. If you qualify for an invitation, we would be very pleased to hear from you. We are preparing Homeward with you in mind.

For Our Returning Guests
What’s New
If you attended Homeward 2022, there are some enhancements and modifications you can expect this time around.
6 Full Days Instead of 4 + 2
Instead of a 4-day event with 2 leisure days appended, we’ll spread out the event over 6 days. That means better spacing for free time, activities, and a more relaxed vibe. The new pacing allows us to be just as intentional with the fun part as we are with the conference part. There will also be more swim time, more taco time, and more sand time.
More Praise, More Worship
You love worship; so do we. The longer event allows us to plan more worship time, a lot more. Expect more than double the music.
Ventures and Adventures
Cancun is the most renowned tropical beach destination in the world. We’ll take better advantage of it, with opportunities to go offsite for ziplining, hikes, water sports, jungle treks, shopping, and more.
No Mas Huracanes
In 2022, Hurricane Agatha visited Mexico the same time we did. Blessedly, it didn’t stay for the whole event, but we don’t like thunderstorms crashing our beach outings so… no hurricanes this time.
Just kidding, that’s up to God. We’ll just wait and pray.
Reflections on Homeward 2022
Approximately 100 families serving in 40 nations attended Homeward 2022. Here are a few of their reflections.
"It was overwhelming as a whole in the best possible way. Body, soul and spirit was ministered to and we all feel refreshed and encouraged to do what we do. It was a time of new vision for us and rubbing shoulders with brave missionaries from all over the world was extremely encouraging. We are forever grateful and you gave us a life changing experience and memories."

Missionary in South Africa
"Our time at Homeward was an absolute feast of His presence, fellowship of amazing Kingdom warriors, and lavish love in the physical (stunning resort and amazing food). We are still processing the profound impartations of love, joy, and peace received during Homeward. We feel so restored and refreshed... ready for another 20+ years of laid down service to our King (by His grace)!

Missionary in Philippines
“I came desperately needing refreshing, a fresh infilling with the Holy Spirit. I got it! The unhurried time of worship was rich. God did something deep that I believe I'm yet to fully understand.”
C.A.
Missionary in Kenya
"We were just touched by all of the kingdom connections with other missionaries. We were able to connect and relate to people who understood us. This was therapeutic in and of itself. We also appreciated how everything was structured for us as young parents with small children to both participate and receive. We rarely get to be present together for full sessions!"
M.C.
Missionary in Mexico
“For our family childcare was a huge blessing! Our kids were really needing some quality time with other kids... so it was a huge blessing for them to be able to get to know more missionary kids! To be surrounded by other kids and the childcare team made a huge difference in their life!
