Conference with visiting speaker from Tunisia to explore mission for the nations
The Church of Ireland’s Council for Mission is organising a special morning conference on Thursday 12 February, with the Revd Frank Bernardi, Rector of St George’s Anglican Church in Tunis.
Frank will speak on God’s heart for the nations through Scripture and lead a discussion of what this means for our engagement with the nations. Attendees will have the chance to share insights and hear from others as together we explore what this means for the mission of the Church for the nations.
The T3 Conference Centre is located at House of Vic–Ryn on the Moira Road, BT28 2RF.
About Frank Bernardi
Frank is an Associate Mission Partner of SAT–7 and the Intercontinental Church Society (ICS), and shepherds both an English–speaking expatriate community and a local Arabic–speaking congregation, mostly from a Muslim background. His ministry is driven by a twin passion to foster contextualised and culturally authentic expressions of worship, and to develop indigenous leaders. A profile of the work of St George’s can be found on the church’s website.
Before moving overseas, Frank served in urban ministry and church planting in the inner city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He and his wife, Anne, are married with four children and have committed their lives to sharing the Gospel in North Africa. Anne leads an economic empowerment initiative, addressing one of the region’s most pressing needs – access to employment and job training.
