Let the Nations Be Glad! Heart for Asia Conference

In Psalm 67, the Psalmist envisions a day in which God’s salvation is known in all the earth – when the nations sing for joy and all the peoples praise him. Join Heart for Asia 2022 and see the vision unfolding now – among the peoples of East Asia, and right here in our own communities.

In Let the Nations Be Glad! you’ll meet people serving in East Asia and others using missional principles in BC neighbourhoods. Hear their stories, join the discussion and expect God to show you new ways to be part of Jesus’ Great Commission.
