Sharing Bright Hope at Mission Conference

By: Kat Goheen Canada West Mission Centre Co-President​

“Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow”
This hymn lyric is our theme for Mission Conference 2024. We have learned that to have true hope we must face our realities; that’s why “strength” goes hand in hand with hope! One way to experience strength is to know our truth and to share authentically with others and we want to learn that together. Leandro Palacios will lead us in a session on Friday night on how to share our stories in different ways. Edith Wallace will show, and tell, us how she expresses herself on Saturday night. We look forward to Vonda DenBoer’s message Sunday morning. When we tell our truth, we witness to others how creative and redemptive God is in our lives, just as we are. We show our values. We connect with others in a deeper way. We open ourselves to transformational change.

I’m excited to be in Edmonton for this next stage of the journey at the end of this month and pray that you are too!
