Missio Dei is a celebration of missions taking place on February 1st and 2nd. The theme this year is "Building the Church One Nation at a Time”.
We are pleased to announce that this year's speaker is Jason Mandryk. Jason was born in Winnipeg, Canada and grew up and studied there, gaining a Masters in Global Christian Studies at Providence Theological Seminary. He has lived in England for 15 years, working on the past two editions of Operation World, initially as co-author with Patrick Johnstone and now as author.
The Operation World team has for decades served the global church by researching the salient and strategic issues in each country, and communicating these through statistical information and prayer guides. Jason's own interests directly related to this include the demographics of religious and ethnic populations, the challenges of communicating the gospel cross-culturally, theologies of prayer and ethnodoxology.
We look forward to seeing you there!
