Check Out the January 2023 EMQ
January’s edition focuses on Prayer. If you’ve not picked up on it, yet, take note that every issue of EMQ involves the collaboration of a number of people. Of course, EMQ’s staff and the submitting writers, but I also partner with people who help me determine topics and recruit writers. On this issue, a fellow member of International Partnering Associates (IPA), Jenny Oliphant, provided me with critical contacts as well as ideas for thematic content.

Check Out the October EMQ

What does this mean as we engage young people with the gospel and mission? That’s what this edition of EMQ is all about!
Update on the 2022 Mission Leaders Conference
From September 28-30, 2022, I attended the Missio Nexus Mission Leaders Conference. I was a workshop presenter, and I briefly shared about EMQ with the conference attendees.
