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.

What if one simple course could ignite a deeper passion for global missions across your entire diocese? Discover how the Anglican Introduction to Missions course (AIM) can be used not only in person but as a Zoom-based initiative to help Anglicans see the bigger picture of God’s work among the unreached.

When I first arrived in Southeast Asia, I longed for connection—someone who understood not just my language, but me. God answered that prayer through an unexpected friendship with my coworker Asma, a refugee from Myanmar. What began as shared conversations about culture and life soon deepened into honest discussions about faith, as we began reading the Bible and the Qur’an together, exploring stories of prophets like Adam, Noah, and Moses. Along the way, I’ve been challenged by her perspective, humbled by our differences, and reminded of God’s holiness, mercy, and pursuit of humanity. This journey has become more than a friendship—it is a prayerful hope that, through curiosity and trust, she might one day come to know Jesus more fully.

The Gulf Atlantic Diocese is cultivating new pathways for global mission—connecting parishes, deepening partnerships, and exploring shared opportunities across the Anglican Communion. Discover how collaboration, vision, and small beginnings are opening doors for greater Kingdom impact.

I got to see what most people never see: Transformation That Multiplies— Timothy, orphaned at age six, is now a Coordinator in a Father’s Family program at another church in the diocese. He is strengthening families so the children in those families are not orphaned as he once was. In other communities, we see these families become role models, informal marriage counselors, and trusted advisors on how to save, invest, and build healthy families.

This is how transformation happens. It is not quick or always visible—but over time, it multiplies.

In my capacity as Dean of Nashotah House, I have the joy of watching the full life cycle of our students’ formation for lives of ministry.…

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. 

At Niños con Valor, our ministry is about more than just providing a safe home for children. It’s about providing an opportunity for children to experience God’s grace and reclaim a sense of value. We specifically specialize in supporting children with complex medical needs and disabilities—little ones who have been neglected or rejected because their care is seen as too difficult or expensive. We believe these children deserve to know they are loved, and they deserve a second chance after the hardships of abuse, neglect and abandonment early in their life.

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.

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 February 9th ACCN gathering left participants with renewed awe for the abundance of God’s creation and a clearer understanding of our sacred responsibility within it. The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil beneath our feet are not merely resources; they are gifts entrusted to our care.

A young church in Texas is now forging a partnership with young church plants in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. “Even with our relatively small resources, young mothers can launch missionary movements, and rectors can make a difference in the nations.”

In the ongoing work of the Kingdom of God, nothing is more important than intercessory prayer.

The Anglican Prayer for All Nations Network (APFANN) seeks to help the Church respond to God’s call to uphold and advance His kingdom through prayer and praise. We seek to increase the number of Anglicans interceding regularly for the world.

Firstly, missions are not simply a part of ministry: they are the ministry. Jesus outlined his vision for the ministry of the Church in the Great Commission. And the Great Commission is exactly what it sounds like: a mission, a task to accomplish—to go and spread the good news! But as much as it is a mission, the Great Commission is also a command.

I wanted to find a ‘fun’ MAP talk from the long list 90 breakout options, and one talk jumped off the list: How to start a Thrift Store! What a divine appointment in an unexpected place! As Kim Perri beautifully taught us how to set up a thrift store to raise money for missions, I knew that my vision was possible. I truly felt ‘on fire’ as I returned home and shared the vision with members of the breast cancer community.

This past September, seven of us from Immanuel attended the New Wineskins for Global Mission Conference in North Carolina. This was the 30th year for this triannual gathering, and more than 1500 Anglicans participated. Jesus’ command to “make disciples of all nations” came alive in a powerful way as we prayed, sang, ate, conversed, and learned among Christians from over 60 countries. His command is being obeyed; the prayer that the Father’s kingdom would come to earth is being answered. But the fulfillment of the commission to introduce Jesus to all people in every nation is still ongoing.

As half a million people travel to San Francisco for Super Bowl LX (February 8th), the New Wineskins Anglican Freedom Network calls for prayer.

What if the thousands of people who gather for high-profile sporting events like the Super Bowl could become a force for good?

At New Wineskins Missions Network, we are profoundly grateful for the dedicated men and women who help advance global missions through their faithful service on our Board of Trustees. Today, we want to express our deep appreciation for two such servants who have given generously of their time, leadership, and hearts: The Rev. Canon Bob Lawrence and Dana Standridge.

From September 22nd to 25th, the American Anglican Council (AAC) attended the New Wineskins for Global Mission Conference in Ridgecrest, NC, directed by Jenny Noyes. Some 1,600 Anglicans from around the globe attended this triennial gathering focused on global missions. Included were archbishops, bishops, clergy, lay leaders, and many youth and children. It was a wonderful, Spirit-filled, worshipping reunion of Anglicans on fire for local and global mission.

Just about three years ago, my wife Gretchen and I were close to making the decision to join the Anglican Communion. We had learned the history of the Anglican church, studied her theology, fallen in love with the rhythms of the Book of Common Prayer and become actively involved in a local Anglican parish. But having spent nearly three decades as missionaries, we had one last hurdle to consider. Do Anglicans still do missions? If so, how?
