On Feb. 4, for Global Mission Sunday, Church of the Apostles, Mr. Bill Bremmer presented the current state of Bible translation around the world. Bill shares that while English-speakers have more than 100 English translations of the Bible available, thousands of other language groups have none.

The Anglican Relief & Development Fund recently received several stories from their partners in Ukraine. 

Let World Mission Sunday be a day of inspiration, collaboration, and purpose as you celebrate and support global missions.

We serve a global God with a boundless heart for each of the 17,000 people groups on the globe.2 As World Mission Sunday for the ACNA on February 4 is fast approaching, I want to remind our Province of the tried-and-true global Anglican mission partners with  whom ACNA churches can partner.  

Would you like to get a firsthand look at the life and ministry of a bondservant of our Lord Jesus Christ who walked over 10,000 miles (not including his travels by sea) to take the Gospel to the Gentile world? If so, I invite you to join me and my wife, Glorianne, along with our Faith Pilgrimages Team for a Ten-Day Pilgrimage to Greece (with an optional three-day extension to Rome) to Walk in the Footsteps of the Apostle Paul, October 21-30, 2024.

Talents’ literacy, numeracy and business skills programs have supported more than 1.6 million community members worldwide – an accomplishment that is only possible because of our partnerships.

Fulfilling the Great Commission Anglicanly:
A Four-Session Introductory Study on Global Missions

Church of the Apostles (COA) in Fairfax, VA, continues a 20-year tradition of supporting the St. Nicholas orphanage in Karen, Kenya, in the completion of a recent visit from November 6 – 18, 2023.

Shade School in Tanzania is expanding, adding the third grade, and enrolling 56 new students in January 2024! While this is wonderful news, these students need a ride to school!

To give towards the bus and double the impact, visit ARDF Match for Shade Bus before the end of the year!

Produced by Anglican Frontier Missions (AFM), Fulfilling the Great Commission Anglicanly is a free, four-week video-driven curriculum that contains short readings, ample time for large and/or small group discussions, and even some (modest) homework!

ARDF is partnering with CMJ-Israel to bring aid and support to survivors of the conflict. CMJ-Israel is providing relief, spiritual care, trauma counseling, and coordinating housing for displaced families. Donate to support much needed relief efforts, and please keep them and all who are suffering from this violence in your prayers.

On Wednesday, December 6, 2023, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Greenbrier Baptist Church in Arlington, VA, DOMA global mission and outreach leaders are invited to hear from Bishop Chris Warner and to share an update on global partnerships.

This has been the heart and vision of our church, Christ Church Vienna, as we have taken prayerful, consistent and intentional steps toward knowing and inviting our Spanish-speaking neighbors here in Vienna into our lives and into the life of our church.  Ultimately our prayer is that Jesus would take the different groups that exist in our community that are all too easily divided, isolated and unknown one to another, and reconcile us to himself to create something new as we are all welcomed into one extended family, with Christ as our head.

We wish we could communicate the joy in our classes as we teach, learn, laugh, and enjoy community.  Our students come from the Middle East, Asia, South America, and Central America with the majority being Spanish speakers from Bolivia and Guatemala.

I have two things that are uppermost in my mind as I write to you today. The first has to do with an emerging sense of vision that I’m seeing for our diocese and our churches. The second is related to the book of Revelation and Hispanic Heritage month.

On September 11, 2023, residents of the coastal city Derna in Libya awoke to the explosive sounds of two dams breaking, releasing a wall of water that quickly destroyed sections of the city and killed thousands.

It took six years, but after much help from an Anglican bishop in Burundi, the American ambassador in Burundi and “Team Michel” – the group of Christ the King parishioners that consisted of French speakers, doctors, lawyers and friends – the Katulas were all together again in Alexandria.

The Anglican Relief and Development Fund has been around since 2004, but with this long name it can sometimes be confusing to know who they are and what they do. Thankfully, their mission can be explained by their acronym: ARDF.

Have you desired to visit the Holy Land but were waiting for the right opportunity? I invite you to join me and our Faith Pilgrimage partners based in Israel for an 11 Day Pilgrimage to the Holy Land to "Walk in the Footsteps of Jesus" (not to mention the Old and New Testament saints) January 22 – February 1, 2024. 

The Kigali Commitment (2023) asserts that the primates who align with the statement “represent the overwhelming majority (estimated at 85%) of Anglicans worldwide.” The accuracy of this number has been publicly challenged, and so an explanation is in order.
