On a foggy day in February 2025, members of nine different congregations blessed by multicultural communities gathered to share their stories and hear different approaches that could help them walk the journey of interculturalism well. Many churches could point to specific moments in recent years when God gave them hope. 

A variety of CRCNA agencies, including Canada’s Intercultural Ministry, Thrive, and Resonate, collaborated to put on this retreat as a launch for a new 10-month learning cohort. These ministries will walk alongside the congregations during that time, offering coaching along the way. Your ministry shares, prayers, and financial gifts help to make such opportunities for connection and coaching possible.
