Dear Colleague,

Gospel Rescue Mission Fellowship (GRMF) invites you to join us for GRMF Conference 2026, hosted by The Billy Graham Training Center ("The Cove").

Pick and choose among the conference seminar offerings. As you create your own conference schedule, make sure to plan to attend the sessions offered by each of the Platform Speakers.

Whether it’s attending a seminar, gleaning knowledge from our platform speakers, joining in worship, or fellowshipping and networking, we promise you won’t be disappointed. Join mission staff and vendors from around the United States.

My prayer is that you will join us to become better encouraged, trained, and equipped in the work God is calling you to fulfill. See you in Asheville!

Blessings, Rev. Tom Laymon, for the GRMF Board

“Not only will these top-notch speakers be present, but we will hear from many of our rescue friends as they teach seminars that will help your missions in many areas.”
