PULSE OF THE PARISH
Global Evangelism & Disciple-making: New Wineskins
The Christian church is a mission-driven organization and each of us is called to mission as God leads us. Clark and Carol Smith have both devoted themselves to global evangelism and disciple-making. Hear how they have been inspired and empowered in their ministry through the New Wineskins Global Mission Conference. Fr. Bryan Biba interviews them about their experience at New Wineskins. The conference occurs every three years and will be happening in September of 2022. This is an opportunity to engage with Christians from around the world and perhaps find your own calling and ministry.
