Lancaster Missionary Fellowship
2010 Program
At the World Mission Resource Center
Purpose: The Lancaster Missionary Fellowship is a monthly meeting of missionaries, missiologists, and mission-minded people for the purpose of reflection on modern missions. Speakers will be those who are aware of current issues concerning missionary principles and practices. The aim is to promote understanding of the challenges and debates surrounding missionary methods in a fellowship of Christians who are committed to the cause of Christ in the world. Through presentations, discussions, and interaction with others, participants may both gain a better grasp of and make a contribution to twenty-first century missions in a rapidly changing world.

Place: The World Mission Resource Center, 600C Eden Road, Lancaster, PA 17601 at the
corner of Eden Road and Crooked Oak Drive in the Crooked Oak Village.
Time: Each session will be held from 12:00 – 1:30 pm.
