A moment with your Mission Centre President by Shannon McAdam, Canada West Mission Centre Co-President In just 74 days we will begin our week of activities leading up to Mission Centre Conference!

How can we equip and support one another to be light bearers in the world in our unique contexts? This is the work of our mission centre as I see it. So I ask that you consider how you can support this project of equipping one another to be light bearers:
