Program Details
Workshop Dates
Three workshops were led by Tim Keener on the mission of God, and how our work should be conceived of a part of that mission. The breadth of God’s mission is particularly important since it is oriented toward the redemption of all things in Christ. Those workshops will be held in alternative weeks, on the following dates:
- October 29 – Whole Mission of God.
- November 12 – Kingdom Calling – Vocation
- November 29 – Prophetic Witness
Three webinars were also held, with Roland De Vries engaging in dialogue with guests who helped us reflect on our work and our faith and our following in the way of the risen Jesus.
