Hello, BRN Family! It’s good to be with you today.

Mark your calendar! The North American Mission Board’s Send Network will host two One-Day workshops for church planters, sending pastors, ministry teams, and faithful Jesus followers.

Send Network One Days are local events designed to inspire and equip Jesus followers to join God’s mission of expanding His Kingdom. Through prayer, worship, and collaboration, these events aim to multiply disciples and churches across North America.

This year, the Send Network is shifting from large, centralized gatherings to localized One Day events across North America. This new approach brings the mission closer to home, creating opportunities for more people to participate and engage in their unique context.

There will be two events in Pennsylvania, both of which will feature Mac Lake, founder and CEO of The Multiply Group. A church leadership and missions expert, Mac Lake will provide both clergy and laity with strategies that create a culture that leads to reproduction.

The first event will be held on October 24-25 at Keystone North Church in Harleysville, and the second event will be held on November 19 at Travelers Church in Moon Township (near Pittsburgh). Visit brnunited.org/events to learn more or contact John Cope, director of Send Network PA/SJ, at [email protected].

I urge you to attend one of these events. And as always, if there is something the Baptist Resource Network can do to help you, know you are only a Help Desk away! Call the Help Desk at 717-652-5856 or email at [email protected].

Thank you for listening in today, and may God bless you!
