Ministry Impact Forum

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

We’re inviting church leaders to a Ministry Impact Forum on Monday, November 11 - Wednesday, November 13, 2024 in Kalona, IA. Evana Network has been listening to pastors from across a range of church situations, and we are noting recurring conversations around key themes. Leaders are talking about how to reach more people for Jesus, engage in authentic and transforming community engagement, and experience greater unity and clarity of mission among leadership team members. We also believe that when pastors come together around direct conversations on these matters, we gain trusted companions on the journey.
