Dear readers,
We’re taking a break from publishing News Briefs for the month of March. We need the time to do some work behind the scenes: to evaluate our list of sources, look for those we’ve lost track of and might want to re-engage, and probably add some new ones.
But we could also use your help! If you have some input, could you hit reply on this email?
1. What are your favorite sources for news related to:
a. International events?
b. Ministry stories and strategies?
c. Issues affecting the global church?
2. What topics or content types would you like to see in News Briefs?
3. Is there anything you’d like to see less of in News Briefs?
4. Is there a specific source you’d like to see us put on our source list? (e.g., a missionary blog or newsletter, ministry website and publication, or other source that publishes mission-related news)
Note, we’re not planning to start writing our own news briefs from scratch; you can expect to see stories previously published elsewhere. We also expect to continue our policy of only reprinting stories from sources that have given us blanket permission to use their content rather than borrowing more freely from those who might not welcome it. We will, though, continue to include links to a variety of sources.
Much thanks!
Marti Wade & Pat Noble
Hello, I am Frédéric Mondin, from the mission WEC France and I mobilize the French speaking Church. I really like the format of your email. I especially like the stories that show that God is successfully pursuing his mission. Our churches need to be encouraged to participate and I find this is the best way. I may like to read more about the current missiological issues. God bless your efforts and thank you again for your great work to put the Church in move.
Thank you, Fred! I’m encouraged by how many people have sent in feedback (mostly by email). I’ll look into ways we can bring in current missiological issues.
