Testimonies
The Most Reverend Dr Ric Thorpe
SUTS 26 was a great way to start the new year with challenging teaching, encouraging fellowship and opportunities to make new friends.
We particularly appreciated the outward focus and hearing stories from missionaries who are seeing wonderful fruitfulness in profound and life changing ways.
We’re signed up for next year and looking forward to it already!
Rev Dr Chris Chia
It was such a great honor, delight and joy to share God’s love & work with the CMS family at SUTS 2026.
Mona and I were so encouraged by the many missionaries and supporters who have and continue to faithfully serve God in many hostile places to the gospel.
We were also very uplifted by you and the CMS staff team’s love, servant heartedness and unity.
May God continue to bless you with our Lord Jesus’ unstoppable presence, peace and power.
Till we meet again in his time and for his glory.

It was my first time attending SUTS, and I didn’t quite know what to expect. I didn’t know anyone going beforehand and decided to attend at the very last minute, but despite the heat, I didn’t regret it. I had a deeply encouraging time of reflection, fellowship, and worship with the body of Christ across all ages. By God’s perfect timing, I’m currently reading Acts, so hearing talks based on Acts enriched my Bible study.
I appreciated the insightful speakers who directed my gaze to Jesus and His wonderful, unstoppable Gospel. I was moved by cross-cultural workers sharing testimonies of God’s works around the world and practical insights into mission. I enjoyed reconnecting with people and meeting new brothers and sisters in Christ. Through the talks, electives, and workshops, I learned more about supporting gospel workers and had many “aha” moments.
It was a wonderful start to the year, expanding my perspective on the needs of the global church and the urgency of mission. I now have renewed motivation to invest in global missions. I am comforted knowing that Jesus and His mission are unstoppable and that He graciously invites us into His good plans. I thank God for SUTS for strengthening my faith and deepening my care for my neighbours close and distant.
