Atlantic Connexion

One of the highlights of District Ministerial was an exciting tag-team announcement by Brent Ingersoll (Kings) and Jim Clements (Moncton) about this year’s XY Conference at a new location – Moncton Wesleyan.

• Brent shared their vision to see 1000 men gathering together for worship and The Word. Start making plans now for the men you will be bringing from all over the Atlantic Region.

Your prayers are appreciated for our joint missions team (both Atlantic & Central Canada) as we conclude an 11-day trip on February 2nd for pastoral training, preaching in churches, and serving at our two orphanages in The Wesleyan Church of Bangladesh. Stay tuned for an update next week with opportunities for your church to partner with this growing family in the International Wesleyan Church.

President Steve Lennox provided leadership for two excellent workshops at District Ministerial on January 17-18 outlining the benefits of Kingswood Learn for the local church. The opportunity for using the existing micro courses as well as the option to upload additional content vetted by Kingswood, will be invaluable resource for raising and releasing leaders.

• The time for Q&A, the panel discussion, and the group exercise to consider contextual application were all helpful components as we explored the best next steps for how Kingswood Learn can be a key part in our Meductic Mandate. Many of you submitted “next steps” in your survey results. Why not take a moment and add a calendar item right now for when you will take that step with Kingswood University?

An edited summary of the President’s presentation and access to all three of Dr. Steve DeNeff’s messages will be sent to all pastors by mid-February.
