One of the biggest gatherings of Christians in Manitoba is back this week after several pandemic setbacks.

Missionfest Manitoba (MfM) will run from Friday, April 29 through Sunday, May 1. All the events will take place at Church of the Rock this year, including a special after-hours worship event with the Bread We Break worship band on Friday evening. You can find more info on the weekend here.

Listen to CHVN all week for Missionfest Week. A special week of talking with the different people involved with this year's event, and keep an eye on chvnradio.co for new interviews posted every day.

How you can help

Tom Castor from Missionfest says that while the organization is in good shape financially, but like all mission organizations greatly benefit from the generosity of like-minded individuals. 

MfM is a registered Canadian charity and support for Missionfest Manitoba benefits the work of the more than 100 mission organizations (mission agencies, schools, camps, relief organizations) who are exhibitors at Missionfest Manitoba 2022. 

People can donate online through the Missionfest Manitoba website.
