Imagine - Issue 18 2013


ISSUE18 2013

 

Short term mission trips are very popular today. In this issue our feature article gives practical information on how to prepare well before leaving on a mission trip. We also look at what God is doing in two different parts of the world – West Africa and Mexico; we introduce a couple who have just finished studying at Worldview and we continue our Centenary celebrations with a project to bless the church in DR Congo. Let us know what you think via the website

After several years in the role, Sean Boucher has stepped down as editor of Imagine. We are grateful for the time and effort he put into producing Imagine and will miss his creativity. We wish him well in his new endeavours. Denise Rhodes is the new Imagine editor. As from this edition, it will be published quarterly instead of bi-monthly.
