More than 200 guests informed and inspired at recent OCGO event

OC held its annual Overseas Council Global Overview (OCGO) at the Indianapolis Marriott North recently with the theme, Be Informed · Be Inspired · Be Invested. More than 200 guests attended the dinner and were able to “see the world” through our Regional Director (RD) Staff and other guests from around the world (see OCGO 2009 Speaker List below).

Regional conversation spots were set up around the room in order to allow guests to interact intimately with RDs and hear about the worldwide strategic work of training Christian leaders at OC’s 100+ partner seminaries and Bible institutes in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East.

WTHR-TV’s Chuck Lofton from Channel 13 SkyTrak Weather, Indianapolis, served as the Master of Ceremonies for the evening, and Brian and Kim Tabor provided music.

OC thanks the many individuals and organizations who served as Table Sponsors this year. Event proceeds will fund scholarships at OC’s partner seminaries and Bible institutes.
