Dear Readers,

While we like to think weekly emails from Missions Catalyst enrich your life in some way, we know most people don’t read every edition. And some of you have only been with us for a month or two; others subscribe only to the News Briefs, or only to the Features.

So we thought we’d invite you to skim our complete set of headlines from 2011. Take a look and see if you missed anything you’d find interesting or helpful. Just click on the links to get the rest of the story.

Are there topics you wish we’d say more about, or things you’d love to see us cover in the year to come? Post your comments below,  write to us directly, or catch us through Facebook or Twitter.

Enjoy!
Marti

Dear Readers,

As a service to readers, Missions Catalyst compiles and maintains an online calendar of mission-related events across the US and around the world. Interested in what’s coming up for 2012?

Maybe you’d like to attend some of these events or tell a friend about them. Perhaps you’re planning an event of your own and wonder what else might be going on that weekend. Or it could be that you know about an event that would interest other reader and should be added to our calendar! Hope you find this helpful.
