HOUSTON, Jan. 13, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Lakewood Church will hold their first annual M3 Mobilizing Medical Missions Conference hosted by Dr. Paul Osteen February 19 – 20, 2016 in Houston, Texas – home of the world's largest medical center.

The first of its kind on the Gulf Coast, M3's primary purpose is to help you find your own mission – the one that's right for you. More than 50 renowned missions organizations will be at the M3 Conference – organizations that change lives, communities, and nations. From healing the sick to drilling for clean water, from caring for orphans to the fight against human trafficking, these organizations need what you have to offer. The M3 conference is about connecting your expertise, your interest, and your passion to the world's needs.

"I have seen men and women who are in the trenches; doing what they can do to help people in extremely resource-limited settings. We don't have to have all the answers; we just have to do our part. I believe your heart will be moved with compassion and you too will be inspired to do what you can to help," said Dr. Paul Osteen.

Hear from 35 speakers including Dr. Kent Brantly— the missionary doctor who survived the Ebola virus and Bob Goff—founder of Restore International and author of the best-selling book Love Does, and organizations such as Samaritan's Purse, World Vision, Living Water International, Mercy Ships, Joyce Meyer Ministries and many others. Attendees don't have to be working in the medical field to attend. Anyone interested in missions can register at www.m3missions.com.
