News - Gospel Evangel 2008

The January/February 2008 Gospel Evangel is the first in a new series: "God's surprises." In each Gospel Evangel, we'll share stories of how people in our community of congregations have experienced God's surprises in various settings and circumstances.

Gospel Evangel is published seven times annually by IN-MI Mennonite Conference (Jan/Feb, Mar/Apr, May/June, Jul/Aug, Sept, Oct/Nov, Dec)

Editor: Annette Brill Bergstresser

 

Note: Some IN-MI Conference web addresses in archived issues of weLink and Gospel Evangel may not function properly because we have redesigned our web site. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you will be able to find the information quickly on our new site.
