There has been on-going joint mission activity between the Diocese of Cascadia (Washington, Oregon and Alaska) and the Anglican Province of Myanmar for several years.  Cascadia has sent missions in the past to the dioceses of Yangon and Pyay in Myanmar, and Myanmar has sent some of their bishops to minister in Cascadia.  Unfortunately, this people exchange is currently curtailed due to the civil war in Myanmar.

On a diocesan level, the Dioceses of Cascadia, Yangon, and Pyay are companion dioceses.  Cascadia contributed funds to assist in the building of the new Pyay diocesan office building.  A delegation from Cascadia planned on attending the dedication of the diocesan office building in December 2025 but were asked by the officials in Pyay not to attend due to the civil war.  We look forward to the day when the civil war in Myanmar is over and the country opens again to in person mission activity. We have many friends in Myanmar.

Anglican Introductions to Missions 2.0 is now available! We’re grateful that the Lord has been using an Anglican Introduction to Missions (AIM) curriculum  to spur both prayer for the nations and a passion for missions among those who participate in the course.  The curriculum has been instrumental in the sending of workers to the field in addition to opening the eyes of many in our congregations to the remaining task of global evangelization among the least reached people groups of the world. This curriculum, introduced at Provincial Assembly 2024, has been bearing fruit in churches and dioceses across the Province and is now available on Amazon as an updated second edition.

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. 

Last October I got a phone call from Fr. Keith Hartsell, a priest from Grace Anglican Church, Oceanside, California, who said that he was bringing a group of teenagers to Washington, D.C. to attend the March for Life events. He wanted information about the Life Forum that we were hosting and wondered if his group was welcome. Obviously, I said YES!

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.

When seven year old Aisha walks through her village in northern Tanzania, people often stop what they are doing to look at her. Some whisper quietly to one another. Others point as she passes.

Aisha has learned to keep walking.

Aisha was born with albinism, a genetically inherited condition that affects the body’s production of pigment in the skin, eyes, and hair. In Tanzania, approximately one in every 1,400 children is born with albinism, one of the highest rates in the world. We stand firm in our belief that everyone, including people with albinism, is created with intention and purpose by God, and is worthy of dignity and respect.

Sadly, many disagree.

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.

Last week, I was blessed by a visit at our Five Talents office from Archbishop Abraham Yel Nhial. We discussed various ministry projects and areas of collaboration in South Sudan where Five Talents partners with the church in microenterprise development. It was both an inspiring and sobering discussion.

His words cause me to reflect on this Lenten season in preparation of Easter. The Gospels tell us that women were the last to stay at the cross in Christ’s deepest anguish and the first to arrive at the tomb, bearing witness to His resurrection. In these most fragile moments, when hope seemed lost women showed up.

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 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?

“I felt closest to God during Bishop Yassir Eric's talk. One of his points was that he was not here because he was special…but because Jesus met him and changed his life. I am often resistant to sharing the gospel, because I'm weary of "cultural colonialism" and proselytizing. But hearing Bp. Yassir say ‘Someone decided to share Jesus with me, and it changed my life,’ reminded me that we don't get a choice! This gospel is not ours to keep from others.”

I live in an area filled with all kinds of trees. Despite popular perception, a tree’s root system can be between two and five times larger than what we see of the tree above the ground. Icebergs can also have this fascinating characteristic. Recently, Love 146, a non-profit that works alongside children impacted by human trafficking, used the image of an iceberg to illustrate the gap between what most people think human trafficking prevention looks like and what it can also look like. The most difficult challenges of human trafficking can be hidden in plain sight and exist just below the surface of our understanding.
