This month hundreds of pastors and leaders from churches all over the world gathered together at the Mannahouse Rocky Butte campus for the recent MFI Conference. Ministers Fellowship International, established in 1987, is comprised a network of pastors and churches that gather annually for a time of community building, and inspiring sessions that encourage and refresh the leaders that attend.
This year our students had the opportunity to facilitate some of the sessions, introduce the speakers, and put into practice many of the skills that they learn while attending Portland Bible College. It was an opportunity to build connections with pastors and leaders, and glean from their wisdom on leadership, church planting, and team work. Students were so grateful to have the chance for a hands-on learning experience as they emceed for the sessions.Ana Julia, a Junior at PBC emceed for one of the sessions, and mentioned how MFI Conference impacted her life this year more than ever before. Ana and all of the students that attended the conference felt like they were part of what God is going all over the world, and were honored to represent the PBC community.
