Partnership with SENT International Church in Schaumburg, IL

As of December 2025, the FWIA Initiative has established a strategic missional partnership with SENT International Church (https://www.churchsent.org/). SENT was planted as a strategic church-planting project in collaboration with Converge, formerly known as the Baptist General Conference (https://convergemidamerica.org/). To reach people from all nations in the Chicago area, SENT has developed a media ministry, a church app, and AI real-time translation, enabling individuals from other cities and countries to participate in Sunday worship. Beginning in 2026, SENT’s services will be prepared in English and translated into multiple languages through AI real-time translation. Starting in January 2026, SENT will launch small group meetings in partnership with the FWIA Initiative at TEDS. In addition, SENT will offer a facilitator training class in January, both in Korean and English, for its own small group leaders as well as for leaders from other churches in the Chicago area.
