#3 - Pressing In: A Collaborative Model ft. Elton DaSilva


What does it mean to be collaborative as Mennonite Brethren? In a conference where our participation is voluntary, how do we engage and lean in on a local, provincial, and national level?

On today’s episode, Conference Minister, Rob Thiessen, sits down with Elton DaSilva, the National Director for the Canadian Conference of MB Churches, to discuss the new collaborative model put forward by the national conference.

You’ll also get to know a little more about Elton DaSilva in his new role, hear some interesting tidbits on the early Anabaptist movement, learn about some of the ministry needs in Québec and among First Nations, and see how God is moving among the Mennonite Brethren in Brazil.
