Benefits from IAMS conference for Latvian team

Here are some benefits from IAMS Conference for Latvian team:

1. theological statements in missiology elsewhere in the world 2. widening of view (vision) and exchange of experience in the trend of missiology outside Latvia 3. contacts with people who are involved in related (mission) field in the world

A comment for the 2. Benefit:
The (Lutheran) Church of Latvia is just beginning to think about mission issue and the experience is almost zero (nothing). Our school (St.Gregor's School of Christian Ministry) is actually now the first one who makes the first steps in mission field. So it was very important to meet and talk with the people from different countries, so we do not try to figure out the bicycle again :)

Thanks for your care and welcoming attitude! We continue to be in touch :)

Blessings,
