Bringing Light and Life to the World
Our newsfeeds constantly remind us that the world is broken and dark. As we explore Paul’s letter to the Colossians at Mission Encounter 2025, we will see that God invites us to be part of his plan to restore light and life through his Son, Jesus. What is our part? What can we possibly do? Let’s lift our eyes together and see what God is doing worldwide, as we consider our role in his great plans.
