Two celebrations, both entirely on-line, were enjoyed by a total of about 75 people, many of them mission scholars, and others very concerned for spreading of the Gospel of Jesus around the world! The first one was in English, and included a lot of people from the USA and UK. The second was in German, with German speakers in attendance. The programmes included music, questions and discussion, outgoing and incoming CEOs being interviewed, Bible sharing, prayer, and speeches by people who emphasised the key importance of the practice of vulnerable mission today.
Dr. Marcus Grohmann (Director), a German ministering in South Africa, has now taken over CEO responsibilities from Dr. Jim Harries, a Brit living and working in mission in East Africa. Deborah Bernhard (Deputy Director, who has experience in Thailand) and Maria Richter together with Marcus form the new Executive Board. The AVM is now registered as a charity in Germany, and has a new website: vulnerablemission.org.

This resource giving access to a simple introduction to vulnerable mission, presented in easy-to follow-sequence with a great variety of speakers and styles in active engagement, makes it highly recommended for inquirers about vulnerable mission!
