Presenters: Andy Busa and Kim Loney
Too often there is a disconnect between local and global aspects of mission. We are called to both and they are mutually beneficial. Come explore how local and global mission can be integrated in ways that strengthen both.
How will the church in Hamilton seek the good of the city and not abandon its global mandate? How are local and global mission interconnected, or are they interconnected? Is it possible for local and global mission to influence one another? How? Is integration possible?
These are some of the questions we will begin to explore together while bearing in mind the changing face of missions including the growth of the church in the global south and the advancement of missionaries to Canada from other countries. Andy and Kim will offer varied perspectives—a Filipino pastor now living and serving in Hamilton, and a Canadian who has lived and served for 18 years in Europe but has now returned to urban ministry here in Canada.
