Description

In response to the global impact of COVID-19 on the mission of the church, the Baptist World Alliance developed and released a Holistic Mission Guide earlier this year featuring over fifty articles from around the world. To expound on the ideas and principles found within the guide, the BWA Commission on Mission is hosting a 3-part webinar series.

The third webinar in the series will guide church leaders and grass root church members through the theme of “Suffering.” The first presentation will be on "Theology of Discipleship: Jesus' Discipleship Model of Suffering and Sacrifice" by Israel Oluwole Olofinjana (Nigeria) and the second will be by Dr. Wati Longchar (Nagaland, India) on "The Power of Last Words." A story entitled "From Relapse to Church" written by Cristina Arcidiacono (Italy) will be narrated.
