The New Wilmington Mission Conference (NWMC) is held every year at Westminster College in New Wilmington, PA. It is the longest-running Christian Mission-focused event in the United States (119 years and counting), typically attended by people from over 30 states and 20 countries.
This year's conference will be held July 18-23. While there are a number of conference events worth attending, your Mission Committee will be hosting an excursion to attend their Mission Fair, which will be held from 1:30-4:00pm on Sunday, July 20. In the past, the fair provided an opportunity to interact with Presbyterian missionaries, who are visiting from the mission field, and to learn about their experiences and how one might join them in supporting initiatives to improve the lives of those living in poverty in other countries. With the recent changes in the way that the PC (USA) supports global mission work, this year's Mission Fair should provide opportunities to better understand how these changes have impacted foreign service and how we might be able to adapt our approach to global mission support.
If you would like more information on the conference or if you think you might be interested in joining the group attending the Mission Fair, please contact Ted Mills (millsfam78@gmail.com).
