About

Today we have the Rev. Tracy Johnson Russell, the Rev. Amjad Samuel, and the Rev. Tom Furrer. All three are members of the Companions in Mission Ministry Network. The mission of this ministry network is to Inspire, Encourage, and Equip individuals and parishes for active mission engagement locally and around the world.  Part of their work includes planning and organizing regional missional gatherings, overseeing several grants, and organizing an annual mission conference.    Their upcoming mission conference is on March 7 at St. Paul’s in Riverside.    Welcome Tracy, Amjad, and Tom!     We start the conversation learning about the work the Ministry Network does, often serving as a stable resource for churches and parishioners called to do mission work. Tracy, Amjad, and Tom all share how they became involved with Mission work and the Companions in Mission Ministry Network — spoiler alert: Tom is at the heart of how Tracy and Amjad became involved. Tom shares a couple examples of missions that have come from connections made within the Ministry Network.    The next Companion in Mission Conference is on March 7. You can learn more about the conference, speaker, and workshops on the Eventbrite page here. You can register on Eventbrite or at the door. Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the door.
