What begins as the planting of a single acorn can, by God's grace, become a mighty oak whose influence stretches far beyond what anyone could imagine.

For ninety years, Bangor Worldwide Missionary Convention has inspired generations of Christians with a vision for God's global mission. Since its humble beginnings in 1936, countless lives have been shaped through faithful preaching, fervent prayer, sacrificial service, and life-changing encounters with missionaries from around the world.

Rather than simply recounting the Convention's history, When God Plants Acorns tells the remarkable stories behind the movement. Drawing on newly discovered archival material, personal testimonies, and treasured memories gathered over decades, Rebecca McConnell reveals how God has worked through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

From unexpected callings to lifelong friendships, from quiet acts of faithfulness to worldwide gospel impact, these pages celebrate the unseen ways God plants seeds that continue to bear fruit across generations and nations.

Whether you have attended the Convention for many years or are discovering its story for the first time, this inspiring collection will encourage you to look back with gratitude, rejoice in God's faithfulness, and look forward with renewed confidence that He is still calling His people to make Christ known to the ends of the earth.

Because when God plants acorns, only He knows how great the forest will become.

When God Plants Acorns was launched at the 90th Convention and is available to purchase from Faith Mission bookshops as well as on Amazon and Kindle.

The ninety-year celebration provides us with an opportunity to look back with gratitude for those who laid the foundations and charted the course and, in doing so, inspired us to join them in sowing, planting, watering, and watching as God makes things grow. We best serve their memory by looking forward in the awareness that the task is still unfinished and in recognising that this is a day of ‘good news’ and we dare not keep it to ourselves.
Alistair Begg from the foreword.
