Power in Safe Spaces: Fractured People, Peace Camps & the Holy Spirit

Saji Oommen, director for global engagement with Five & Two Network and PRN USA co-coordinator, joins PRN global director Phil Wagler to discuss the transforming impact of peace camps; safe spaces that bring people of diverse and conflicting parties together.

What Our Affiliates Have to Say

Crandall University
Dr. Bruce Fawcett, President & Vice Chancellor

"We deeply appreciate our affiliation with the EFC. We have enjoyed EFC resource staff who have spoken to faculty, staff and students on our campus, and have served as advisors on other occasions. I have personally enjoyed the connections made with other ministry leaders through the EFC's annual Presidents Day gatherings. I also deeply appreciate the role the EFC had in giving birth to Christian Higher Education Canada, an association which has been an excellent source of fellowship and encouragement for our university. The vision and insights provided by the EFC have been a wonderful gift to the Canadian Church!" (www.crandallu.ca)

Toronto Christian Community Church
Jonathan Chan, Senior Pastor

"The EFC proves to be an important Kingdom partner. They help us to champion an evangelical engagement relevant to the Canadian context. As our country becomes more and more secular, a vital evangelical voice that is loud and clear is much needed. The theological resource and pastoral guidelines are very helpful, and they always come out in a timely manner." (tccc.ca)
