World Conference excitement builds!

By Shannon McAdam, Canada West Mission Centre Co-President

As we get closer to World Conference, our Canada West Mission Centre President team is hearing stories from people around the world who are excited to attend!

Becky shares about her friend Eva:
While Doug and I were in Honduras in February, one of our Community of Christ sisters made a trip into Tegucigalpa—the capital city—for a meeting to secure a visa for going to World Conference in the USA. She was successful in obtaining her visa and is very excitedly looking forward to going!

It will be her first time at Conference and her first trip to the US! We are so excited for her and look forward to being with her at Conference!​

From Kat and Shannon’s friend Elray in the Western Europe Mission Centre:
I am very excited about World Conference. I always look forward to the first two joyful days of Conference, because I get to reconnect with friends from all over the world.

Then this year, we might just also adopt a nonviolence statement for Community of Christ, which is something I have cared deeply about.

Stassi Cramm, and so many others, are being ordained!

I also look forward to my own ordination as high priest at the European gathering, which will make this world event even more memorable for me.

And from Art:
Kamala Rao is a newly ordained Seventy in Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh, India. She just received her visa last week for Côte d’Ivoire, where there is a remote site.

She’s never been able to get a visa to attend World Conference in the USA. This will be her first-ever trip out of India.

She’s very excited to share with the ten other delegates from India and Nepal headed to that remote site, as well as with others from all over Africa—and remotely, with all the delegates from the World Conference.

Each of our team members are looking forward to our own pilgrimages as well, and we are looking forward to seeing many of you there.

Elray Henriksen, Shannon McAdam, and Kat Goheen
