For over a quarter of a century, Missionfest Manitoba has drawn our attention to the work God is doing at home and around the world through a variety of mission agencies. The annual Province wide missions event has grown considerably from its early beginnings. This year in excess of 125 mission and ministry organizations will have displays highlighting the area of ministry they believe God has called them to fulfill.
The theme for 2014 is a sobering one: Human Trafficking: Speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves. Missionfest Executive Director, Gordon Gilbey, writes:
During Missionfest Manitoba 2014 we will be exploring this epidemic. Jim Martin (International Justice Mission) will provide us with a snapshot of the problem, cause and concern, and what we as individuals can do. We will also see how the Lord used a housewife (Glendyne Gerrard), a retired RCMP officer (Brian McConaghy) and a former Miss Canada (Tara Teng) to get involved in their spheres of influence. The Lord delights in using His ordinary people to accomplish the extraordinary! (Source: Missionfest Magazine 2014)
