Last November, Mission to North America’s Chris Vogel spoke with MTW’s Carolyn Philips for MNA’s “Growing Together” podcast about how MNA and MTW are preparing for the harvest together. 

Carolyn, MTW’s director of organizational relations, works between agencies of the PCA including MTW, MNA, Reformed University Fellowship, and Christian Discipleship Ministries as all work toward the goal of advancing the gospel of the kingdom.

It’s very exciting, but it’s also exciting to talk about how we can pull resources together to see that happen,” Carolyn says. “And how do we help RUF with one of their visions, which is missions and evangelism for their students? MTW is a perfect fit to help with that.”

Looking at MNA’s and MTW’s church planting visions together, Carolyn points out that it amounts to 1,500 new churches being planted. That’s a big vision, and something we can all join together in accomplishing. “It’s very exciting, but it’s also exciting to talk about how we can pull resources together to see that happen,” Carolyn says. “And how do we help RUF with one of their visions, which is missions and evangelism for their students? MTW is a perfect fit to help with that.” Carolyn adds that MTW is creating RUF internships and helping grow RUF Global around the world.

As you listen to the conversation, consider how God might be calling you to serve and help further Great Commission through MTW or one of our partner agencies.
