Racial Inclusion Panel: On Co-mission to be Agents of Racial Reconciliation

A two-part segment focused on what biblical justice looks like and practical ways we can be agents of racial reconciliation. At the end of Part 2 there will be a live Q&R with all participants involved.

Part 1: This “table-talk” features two campus workers, Jazelle Johnson and Nelly Latchman, and one post-secondary student, Emily Asante, who will be sharing their experiences and lived realities of racial issues in the Church and in the education system. They will also be discussing the effects of those issues on people of colour within churches and schools. Their primary focus in this panel is to provide insight and practical ways the Church and workers ministering in the campus context can proactively work toward justice and racial reconciliation.

Part 2: Dave Wells, Ejay Tupe, and Elyse Yu-Brouwer from The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC) Biblical Justice Racial Inclusion Committee will be sharing about how systematic change involving education, strategic initiatives, and accountability is crucial in order for churches and leadership to be further equipped in race issues and cultural competencies.

Global Strategy Panel:

God is at work beyond Canada’s borders too; on campuses, in workplaces and in hard-to-reach places. This is an opportunity to hear from a panel of global workers – those who are part of God’s mission internationally to the least reached and the most vulnerable.

Is God is inviting you to join Him in bringing your skills, your profession, and your passion to see Him made famous among the nations?

Let’s talk about what’s possible – whether you are in Canada or willing to embark on an overseas adventure for two weeks, two months or two decades.

A time for questions and responses will follow the presentations.

Alpha Online

Diane Lewis and Paul Engels are campus ministers with University Christian Ministries in British Columbia and have been involved leading Alpha on campuses. People are facing big challenges and asking even bigger questions during the global pandemic.

The on-demand video training program helps equip students, parents, and youth leadership in key practical and spiritual skills though video modules and online coaching. Youth pastors can help mentor their students for equipping whether they go to a post-secondary school, do a gap year, or go straight into the workforce. Ryan will be showing you how to utilize Life Launch for welcoming new students to your campus. Q&R following the presentation.

How to Have Spiritual Conversations

Calvin Weber and Marissa Peat are campus ministers with University Christian Ministries in British Columbia. Evangelism is not only for extroverts, but also introverts and everyone in between (Ambiverts)! Calvin (the introvert) and Marissa (the extrovert) engage in spiritual conversations with students all the time in unstructured and structured settings. You will be encouraged in this session with ways to bring up the topic of faith and engage in conversation starters about Jesus—all in a loving manner that is natural and fits your personality. Q&R following the presentations.
