From the very beginning, Trinity has been committed to providing orthodox theological education that would impact the practical daily ministry of the local church. Our first Dean and President, the Rt. Rev. Alfred (Alf) Stanway, served as a missionary to Kenya for several decades prior to coming to Ambridge. During that time, a primary focus of his ministry was training up indigenous clergy and laity, to carry out the work of the Gospel in East Africa.

To honor his ministry and vision, the Stanway Institute for World Missions and Evangelism was established in 1989 to equip church leaders from around the globe alongside future missionaries and church planters from North America. Over the years, the Stanway Institute has ensured that the Great Commission of our Lord is never far from the hearts and minds of Trinity’s faculty, staff, and students.

At the Church’s Ministry Among Jewish People (CMJ USA), our mission has always been to help the Church understand its Jewish roots and to love the Jewish people around us with the love of the Messiah.

We remember that the Last Supper—the very foundation of our Communion—was a Passover Seder. To love Jesus is to love the people through which the Messiah was given to the world. Our "freedom in the Messiah" is not a replacement for the Jewish story; it is a profound extension of it.

Right now, antisemitism continues rise beyond what was already an all-time high., and it is reshaping the daily lives of Jewish Americans. According to the American Jewish Committee (AJC) State of Antisemitism in America 2025 Report, an overwhelming 91% of American Jews now feel less safe in the U.S. following high-profile violent attacks over the past year.

You may know by now that the Anglican Persecuted Church Network and the Anglican Freedom Network are planning a regional conference on global Christian persecution and human trafficking in September. I hope you will consider coming to this important conference at All Saints Anglican Church, Woodbridge, Virginia!

Join New Wineskins Networks: Anglican Persecuted Church and Anglican Freedom Network at the Breaking the Chains: Responding to Persecution and Human Trafficking at All Saints Anglican in Woodbridge, Virginia – September 18-19, 2026. We will worship, pray, advocate, and hear from experts in the field who will help each of us strategize on what role we can play. 

Using your influence to fight human trafficking is to leverage all forms of media to advocate and educate your followers. There are a variety of faith-based organizations creating and sharing content, and by simply engaging with this content, you are providing the creators with support. By sharing their content, you allow many more people to see each post, podcast, article, short video clip, or book review. This kind of content activates people to take small actions that could lead to big changes in the future.

The kingdom of God is a great harvest, and through the Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders (SAMS), believers are invited to join in their global work. SAMS supports and sends missionaries to share the Gospel across cultures and contexts. Together with global church leaders, missionaries serve as co-laborers, strengthened through shared wisdom and purpose. As the harvest remains plentiful, SAMS calls the Church to pray for and raise up new workers to bring the hope of Christ to every nation.

This February, I visited the Nuba Mountains of Sudan for the first time as a staff member of Sudan Church Partners. This was an incredibly encouraging, while not entirely undangerous opportunity. But as I ventured with my local partners across the rough terrain to visit various churches and ministry projects, it was abundantly clear to me that the church is growing faster than I could imagine in this remote and difficult to access region.

Celebrate Eastertide with us as we share 50 blogs in 50 days highlighting all of the wonderful work happening in global missions through our New Wineskins Anglican Partners. You will hear stories from sending agencies, non-profits in the mission fields, our Rolecall cross-cultural apprentices and our networks. We invite you to journey with us this Eastertide. Read these stories. Share them with others. Celebrate God’s faithfulness and the work He is doing around the world.

The New Wineskins Conference (NWC), coming next month, September 17-20 in Ridgecrest, North Carolina - has become my favorite of many Anglican conferences I have attended through the years. Here’s why. More than any other gathering I’m aware of, NWC immerses orthodox Anglicans in teaching, worship, prayer, and conversation centered on our main calling as Christians: Jesus’ Great Commission to His Church, given in Matthew 28. Jesus commanded His church to go to the ends of the earth, and make disciples of all the nations. New Wineskins is all about mission – international, national, and local.…

The New Wineskins Conference, only 5 weeks away, brings people together from all over the world. Many of them desperately need prayer. Some are missionaries serving in the most difficult mission fields – places of poverty, spiritual oppression, and even violence. Others are serving in churches in our province who also need a touch from the Lord. If you have experience in prayer ministry, will you consider helping to meet this need by being part of the team that prays for them in person? We’ve seen many breakthroughs in this ministry!

Each time believers from around the world gather at the New Wineskins Global Missions Conference, something deeply spiritual takes place, something far greater than a conference schedule or a series of talks. Worshipping together as a global body becomes a living glimpse of Revelation 7:9, where the Apostle John describes “a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.”

Each year, fifty days after Easter, Christians around the world gather to celebrate Pentecost — a moment of divine power, purpose, and promise. It is the birth of the Church, and marks the day the risen Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled His promise by pouring out the Holy Spirit upon His followers. What began as a group of frightened disciples hidden in an upper room transformed into a bold, Spirit-empowered Church sent to the ends of the earth with one mission: to make disciples for the glory of God.

When you attend the upcoming 2025 New Wineskins Global Mission Conference: Hope for the Nations this September, we highly encourage you to visit our mission bookstore. Mission education is crucial to Christian discipleship, church growth, and our active participation in the Great Commission to “go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19a). From time-tested missional resources to recent publications that provide new insight into the complexities and realities of global mission, our mission bookstore offers a wealth of collected knowledge and experience.

Dear New Wineskins partner, has God ever broken your heart about an issue or group of people that you care about? As we celebrate 50 years of the New Wineskins ministry, I am reflecting back on our founders, Walter and Louise Hannum.…

At New Wineskins, we desire to mobilize and equip Anglicans for global mission. We invite you to join us for this Epiphany season as we rejoice in Jesus and His desire to draw all people to Himself, to be the Savior of the whole world.

Registration is now open for our eleventh triennial New Wineskins Global Mission Conference, which will take place at Ridgecrest Conference Center in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, September 17-20, 2025. The theme is Hope for the Nations. All the conference details and the registration links are available on our conference website: newwineskinsconference.org.

Hope. I don’t know an individual, a church, or a nation that couldn’t use more hope. As we look at our world, we see what appear to be hopeless situations all around us from our own lives and communities to global conflicts and strife. But, God… As Christians, we know that our hope is not in ourselves or any entity other than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus is not only the hope for every person in the world, but, indeed, the hope for all nations!…For this reason, God has shown us that our theme for the 2025 New Wineskins Global Mission Conference is to be Hope for the Nations!

My faith journey began at an Episcopal church that was meeting in a school. My husband and I began attending this church with our two young daughters because they were known for their kid’s program. The priest said the salvation prayer during one of the services and said if you’ve never given your life to Jesus, you can pray along with me and begin today. I repeated the words he said silently in my head and began following Jesus.…

New Wineskins Missionary Network is excited to announce the launch of our first global mission curriculum: An Anglican Introduction to Missions (AIM)! The course AIMs to highlight the rich theological, historical, cultural, and strategic aspects of global missions with a focus on the Anglican Communion. The purpose, intention, or AIM of this training is for every Jesus follower in the Anglican Church in North America to be meaningfully engaged with the frontiers of missions by praying, welcoming, sending, supporting, or going to those who have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As Anglicans, we have been taught about the power of prayer in the Kingdom of God. But do we realize such prayer should focus on fellow Christians, and especially on those who are persecuted for their faith?

It’s sobering, but also joyful, to learn about the persecuted church around the world. At the Anglican Persecuted Church Network, we organize prayer for the persecuted church and coordinate for action.
