The feature story in this month’s ENCOUNTER reveals how Sr. Helen Murage and her congregation bring hope to God’s people here in the United States and in their African homeland. Then we turn our eyes to the universal call to mission and our hope of resurrection by reviewing the World Mission Day messages of Pope Benedict XVI.
Pope Francis reflects on three key aspects of the Emmaus story in the Gospel of Luke. He writes, "By meditating on these three images, which reflect the journey of all missionary disciples, we can renew our zeal for evangelization in today’s world." It is a beautiful and inspiring read!
Happy New Year! Our first issue of 2023 includes the story of Brother Tobias, a German Benedictine on mission in Nebraska, and our look back at all the amazing work we did for God's mission last year.
We are pleased that Fr. Dinh Anh Nhue Nguyen, OFM Conv, General Secretary of the Pontifical Missionary Union, will join us from Rome to discuss how Ad Gentes continues using the World Mission Day messages of Pope Francis as our lens. Sign up now, and check out our past webinars!
