Race to 2025

How could a certain drum, or a particular dance step, or a specific melody affect how the gospel is communicated? God expressed his creativity in each culture by giving them unique artistic expressions. Let's discuss how we can use these as powerful avenues to express the gospel message of Jesus Christ! You are invited to our final Beyond my Backyard event: What: A discussion with 2 seasoned and talented ethnomusicologists (a Canadian and a Nigerian) about the power of using... the arts in cross-cultural missions. When: Saturday October 24th, for an hour starting @8:00am PDT; 9:00am MDT; 11:00am EDT; 12:00pm ADT Where: Your own living room or kitchen or wherever you prefer to zoom. https://forms.gle/uoAD8ot6tUv9bmee8 *If you would like to receive a gift from Wycliffe, please remember to submit your mailing address when you RSVP! Feel free to share this invitation with others. We look forward to seeing you again! For God's glory among the nations, The Wycliffe Mission Coaches

Ride for Refuge last Saturday. What a great day! For us here in Calgary it positively was the nicest weather in the five years we have a team in the event, sunny, comfortable temperature and dry, no snow but a bit on the breezy side on the second lap. With the change of the 25/50 km route this year we also had an 11% hill. Personally I liked the route this year! Just my opinion. And NO, we didn't all ride the tandem! Fundraising is still open until the end of October so you can still sponsor me. https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/FundraisingPage.aspx
