Send Us Your Mission Central Stories

We know that Mission Central and Missions Fest Vancouver conferences and events have impacted many thousands of people from 1984 to the present. We're working on compiling a collection of stories and memories to celebrate the impact of our organization and the countless connections and opportunities that have been created and had their own harvests. We'd love to know your story, too!

Whether you've been connected with Mission Central for decades or just attended one very meaningful conference, we want to hear from you. If you have been a church representative or pastor, a volunteer, an attendee, an agency representative, a speaker, a staff member—however you've been connected with us, your story matters to us and we want to be able to celebrate it, and many others like it!

Please consider sharing your experiences below. If you have more to share, feel free to submit the form more than once, or just send us your story (and photos!) by email to office@missioncentral.ca.

We can't wait to hear from you!
