If you are heading to the Covenant Midwinter Conference<\/a> in a few weeks (February 4-8, 2013, at the Town and Country Resort in San Diego), be sure to stop by and say \u201cHi!\u201d to CWR. We will be at the following events:<\/p>\n

Throughout the week, we will be in the display area<\/strong> with others with the mission priority of “serving globally.”<\/p>\n

On Thursday, be sure to check us out in the morning at our \u201cDeeper with Covenant World Relief<\/a>\u201d event:<\/p>\n

What in the world is Covenant World Relief? How can I get more connected? Grab your breakfast and join us as we dive deeper into our shared ministry around the world. Hear stories of transformation from our long-term community development programs and disaster relief projects on five continents.<\/p>\n

\n

On Monday, we will be at an Early Bird Workshop<\/a> called \u201cPreaching a \u2018Glocal\u2019 Vision\u201d<\/p>\n

To be the church in the age of globalization requires us to re-frame our understanding and practice of mission. More specifically, it requires us to understand the relationship between global and local mission. The question for this workshop is, \u201cHow does this new understanding of a \u201cglocal\u201d vision inform our preaching?\u201d
\nAl Tizon, associate professor of holistic ministry \u2013 Palmer Theological Seminary<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, we will be hosting a workshop called \u201cThe Better of Two Goods: From Charity to Dignity<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

In the kingdom, we are provided with a multitude of opportunities to do good. Through Scripture, case studies, and shared experiences, participants will explore and discover ways to develop more effective love mercy \u2013 do justice ministries in both local and international contexts.
\nDave Husby, director of Covenant World Relief Director \u2013 Evangelical Covenant Church Offices
\nDebbie Blue, executive minister of Compassion, Mercy, and Justice \u2013 Evangelical Covenant Church Offices<\/p>\n

You may want to check out these other workshops on Tuesday:<\/p>\n

Serving Globally at Home<\/a><\/p>\n

The shrinking of our planet and the emergence of relational highways provides local churches with unprecedented potential for global impact; beginning with Pastor Chamron Phal\u2019s inspiring story of survival in the killing fields of Cambodia, and his subsequent ministry sharing the Gospel and planting churches in his homeland, including among his former Khmer Rouge communist soldiers. In this workshop we will demonstrate how a church (of any size) can connect with and support Kingdom ministry in another part of the world.
\nLinnea Carnes, retired Covenant pastor
\nAllan Serrano, senior pastor \u2013 Evangelical Missionary Covenant Church
\nChamron Phal, associate pastor \u2013 First Covenant Church<\/p>\n

Peace & Justice in the Holy Land<\/a><\/p>\n

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has raged for more than half a century. Historical narratives of deep pain and suffering continue to play out in the region today. This workshop will focus on the history of Christian engagement in the Holy Land and the role of Christ followers in pursuit of reconciliation and justice. Learn about organizations and individuals working to make a positive difference in the Holy Land while seeking to discern how God might be calling all of us to be advocates of peace and justice in the midst of conflict.
\nMae Cannon, senior director of advocacy & outreach
\nGary Burge, professor of New Testament \u2013 Wheaton College<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
