A recent visit to Brazil revealed a powerful vision for global mission: raising up and sending the next generation of cross-cultural workers. As partnerships grow between Brazil and the U.S., one truth becomes clear, we are in this together.

What began with meals and simple acts of kindness in Puerto Valdivia, Colombia, has grown into a story of deep relationship, restored dignity, and lasting transformation. Through Mission Colombia, children are receiving nourishment, families are finding hope, women are gaining vocational skills, and communities are experiencing the love of Christ in tangible ways. From sidewalk chalk and Children’s Day celebrations to a thriving community kitchen and a new sewing school, God is restoring joy where hardship once prevailed. Three years after first arriving in a struggling neighborhood, Mission Colombia is witnessing faith, stability, and hope take root in powerful ways.

Mission in Brazil has revealed an important truth: God often works in unexpected places and through ordinary moments. From Ubers and grocery stores to family dinners and street conversations, opportunities to share the Gospel are everywhere. Reflecting on the parable of the sower, this testimony explores how faithfulness in planting seeds—rather than immediate results—has transformed one missionary’s understanding of evangelism. In a culture shaped by many beliefs and distractions, God continues to soften hearts, open doors, and bring hope in ways we may never expect.

While serving with Shade in Northern Tanzania, one Role Call Apprentice witnessed firsthand the deep joy, resilience, and faith of believers living in difficult circumstances. Through education, advocacy, and Gospel-centered care, Shade empowers children with albinism and other vulnerabilities to live with dignity, courage, and hope in Christ. Amid cultural stigma and hardship, students are discovering that their true identity is not defined by fear, appearance, or societal rejection, but by the unconditional love of their Creator. This powerful testimony reflects how God is transforming lives through compassion put into action.

Christians across Nigeria continue to endure extraordinary persecution, violence, and displacement, yet the Church remains steadfast. During a recent journey through Plateau State, ministry partners witnessed firsthand the realities many believers face daily—villages destroyed, families displaced, churches burned, and communities living under constant threat. Despite these hardships, Nigerian Christians continue planting churches, sharing the Gospel, and carrying Bibles into some of the most dangerous regions in the country. Church leaders such as Archbishop Benjamin Kwashi, Canon Panshak Panbish, and Rev. Moses continue to faithfully shepherd believers through unimaginable suffering while calling the global Church to prayer. This powerful testimony is both a sobering reminder of the cost of faith and an inspiring witness to the endurance of the Church in Nigeria.

I have had the privilege of attending two New Wineskins for Global Missions conferences in my years of being part of the Episcopal/Anglican Church. What makes my experience unique is that I attended the very first conference (1994) and the most recent conference (2025) and none in between! My perspective of the two events carries, for me, both wonderful memories and a vision of God’s faithfulness both to me and to the enduring influence that the New Wineskins movement has had on the Anglican Communion and the Great Commission movement throughout the world.

Thirty years ago today, on April 27, 1994, New Wineskins Missionary Network (formerly ECMC, Episcopal Church Missionary Community) held its first Global Mission Conference.…

While on a short-term mission trip to North Africa with Anglican Frontier Missions during the fall of 2022, we were encouraged by the rector of our host church to explore further south where the population is primarily composed of the Berber people group. There was something there he wanted us to discover, and we saw the twinkle in his eye!

My family and I are preparing to be sent overseas in the coming weeks, and as we travel around the country, sharing our calling with anyone who will listen, we are again presented with an opportunity to “remember.”

How do you pray for mission work when you don’t have very many details? Or, you don’t know the places where our partner missioners are working? Or, you can’t pronounce their names? Or, you don’t understand their context? Or…or…or…

I have a question for you: What is your mission in life?
