\"Missionary<\/a>
Missionary James Tang updating us on the situation in South Sudan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Midwinter XIV\u2019s theme of Life Together was deeply rooted in Paul\u2019s exhortation in Ephesians 4:2 to \u201cbe completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Covenant World Mission (CWM) witnessed God encourage and challenge pastors, missionaries, and congregations to dig deeper into the call to live with\u00a0humility, patience, and love during our week-long conference. During the afternoon track sessions,\u00a0CWM was able to explore the theological and practical foundations for a genuinely missional vision and discuss the priorities and strategies of the missional church.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We heard several of our missionaries share about the necessity to serve with humility, to patiently wait as God grew and harvested the spiritual seeds they planted and watered, and to love God and God’s people amidst good and bad seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the dark season in South Sudan, we held a time of prayer\u00a0on Tuesday\u00a0with missionary James Tang to intercede on behalf of our Covenant partners and the Sudanese. Please continue to pray for the strength and perseverance of our brothers and sisters in South Sudan.<\/span><\/p>\n

And for the first time in Midwinter history, the Covenant Caf\u00e9 was featured\u00a0on Wednesday\u00a0night, hosted by CWM.\u00a0Life together atop the Hyatt Regency meant Covenanters\u00a0basking in the warm city lights,\u00a0listening to music and spoken word from Sharon Irving Carlson and a live jazz trio, and being inspired to live lives of\u00a0justice and compassion through\u00a0diverse expressions of art.
