Intercultural Ministry Network

Intercultural Ministry is never done alone. Over 200 alumni of FILL programs and hundreds of others across Canada doing Intercultural Ministry are a network of support. The network shares and designs resources for ministry in Canada, gathers online and in person, and works together for a Canadian Intercultural Church.

The easiest way to connect to this network is through the “Art of Intercultural Ministry” e-newsletter. Contact us to sign up.
