The WEA official news stated the theme of the GA, "Your Kingdom Come". The theme was "inspired by Jesus' prayer in Matthew 6" and expressing "the hope for the GA to be a critical moment for evangelicals to come together to reflect and strategize how to fulfill Jesus' Great Commission" in order to "disciple all nations". 

Michael Ford, the General Secretary of Apostolos Missions, United States, said upon his testimony, "It was a reminder that the gospel should change our whole lives and our whole lives should be expressions of the gospel." Pastor Chris Park, the representative of YEF Asia Pacific, shared, "We are grateful for the idea of incorporating their strategies into our ministry by looking at the models of churches that are rapidly growing the leaders of the next generation. We found out that God has placed so much hope and infinite possibilities for the world mission in Southeast Asia."
