2024 KING’S CASTLE MINISTRIES MAPS TEAM REGISTRATION
Our theme for 2024: (“ID360, Yo digo Si” /” GO360, I say Yes”) is really a Missions Statement because we believe 3 things need to happen right now across the whole world to fulfill the Great Commission of Christ in these Last Days.
1. PENTECOST: Preach the Whole Gospel with miracles, signs and wonders following everywhere we go.
2. GO 360: To all 198 Nations = GO/ ID 360
3. EVERYONE: By All the Church = “I say Yes”/ “Yo digo Si”
We do not want Jesus to come to rapture His Church and have to ask His Church the question: “What part of GO didn’t you understand?”
Mark 16:15: And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”

There is a list of possible choices for your Day Off that range from a trip to the beach... surfing lessons... zip line... volcano tour... boating excursion... or visiting the Mayan ruins.
