MBMS International. Transforming Lives In Mission

Have you ever been in a city when a world-class event is occurring? The city comes to life with thousands of visitors from around the globe anticipating great things. There is electricity in the air. People are eager. Usual divisions are set aside as people gather around a common focus.

This is what it’s going to be like in Vancouver in February and March of 2010. The Olympic Winter Games and Winter Paralympic Games are coming to town, and we have an opportunity to shine God’s light to the nations, without travelling very far. This is a prime time to engage people in conversation about the true meaning of life. Go for gold that shines forever!
