Join us for the upcoming UBS Fellowship Event 2024 in Toronto, Canada
The event aims to fulfil three key objectives: (1) create and maintain momentum for collaborative endeavours aligned with the the World Assembly themes, (2) strengthen strategic and collaborative partnerships, both in ISP and beyond, and (3) facilitate valuable connections and relationships with other Bible Societies globally across the Fellowship.
The Event is being designed for all Bible Society staff with a particular focus on individuals who derive substantial benefits from international connections within the Fellowship, enabling them to enhance their projects and ministry. This encompasses individuals engaged in activities such as digital project development, Bible translation, supply chain management, ISP partnerships, ISP project development, fundraising for international projects, and other areas involving international collaboration. Open to individuals, groups, and teams from various Bible Societies, the event is expected to bring together around 400 participants.
Building upon the themes from the 2023 World Assembly, the All-Fellowship Event will particularly focus on Bible Translation, Digital Transformation and Mission Resilience, as well as strengthening relationships and ISP partnerships.
