Dearest Worldwide Kingdom Family,

We are excited to welcome you to the 2023 International Campus Leadership Seminar (ICLS) entitled “Filled with Awe” and the Latin American Mission Conference (LAMC) entitled “Limitless”! We are thrilled to have you all here in the vibrant and culturally rich Mexico City. As the heart of Mexico and one of the largest cities in the world, Mexico City has a history and cultural heritage that spans back thousands of years. From the ancient Aztec civilization to the Spanish colonial era, this city has been shaped by diverse influences, resulting in a unique blend of cultures and traditions and by God’s church. As we come together to celebrate our powerful God, we invite you to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and flavors of this incredible city.

Mexico City is the beautiful location chosen for the 2023 ICLS and LAMC!
