This year, mark your calendars for an all new revisioned 2 DAY Network Conference on May 19th -20th taking place in Binghamton, NY, graciously hosted by City Church, in their brand new location at 285 Main St, Binghamton, NY 13905.

Network Conference 2026 will be a focused, high-impact gathering designed to refresh your spirit, sharpen your leadership, and reconnect you with the mission God has entrusted to us across New York. Taking place May 19–20, this year’s Conference is intentionally two days, making it more accessible than ever while still being packed with meaningful worship, clear vision, and practical sessions. Together, we will celebrate the NYMN mission, lean into church planting and missions, and invest in the next generation of leaders.

Network Conference is more than an event, it is a time to be renewed, reminded you are not alone, and realigned around what God is doing in and through our Network. We believe these two days will be well worth the time, bringing clarity, encouragement, and momentum you can carry back into your local context.

Dr. John L. Easter

AG World Missions Executive Director

AGWM Executive Director Dr. John L. Easter's vision is to see AGWM's 2,700 global workers serving in 155 countries joined by the next generation of laborers, and new fields opened for missionary service. His heart is that the sons and daughters of our local churches may discern and respond to God's call to cross-cultural missions and plant the church among the unreached.

As a pastor, missionary, and educator, Dr. Easter is passionate about mobilizing the next generation for frontier missions. Serving in Africa for 22 years, he trained church planters and missionaries to carry the Gospel across the continent. His cross-generational focus extends intimately to his family. John and Cheryl are deeply devoted to their children: Kevin; John-John, and his wife, Calissa; and Mitchell, his wife, Alyssa, and their four children.

As AGWM's executive director, Dr. Easter believes fervent intercession and consistent discipleship are the keys to raising a new generation of laborers. The local church must take up its calling to nurture, disciple, and send out its sons and daughters to proclaim the Good News.
