AEC

Anabaptist Evangelism Council

New Life Ministries hosts the annual council meetings.  They were inaugurated in 1998 as one way to bring together practitioners, consultants, denominational support staff members, and scholars to address a current evangelism issue of special interest to congregations in the Anabaptist/Believers Church traditions.  

Council meetings serve as a think tank, bringing together the best scholars and practitioners in the field.  The meetings also serve as a networking and information sharing forum.  They have included representatives from both Canada and the United States.

Through the Anabaptist Evangelism Council, New Life Ministries desires to encourage integral theological reflection, coherent strategy, and consistent practice geared toward transformation of society through the Anabaptist Christian witness in North America.
