Mid-America Friends in Wichita hosted Evangelical Friends International North-America/Evangelial Friends Mission meetings this past weekend. Friends leaders from all across EFI-North America came to Wichita for several days of important meetings. I am not on any of these boards but was able to sit in and observe and learn.
Among many exciting and encouraging things I learned, I found the "big picture of EFI-NA" particularly helpful.
Evangelical Friends International-North America is changing its name to "Evangelical Friends Church-North America", which more accurately reflects what we are together: the church! EFC-NA consists of about 300 churches, comprising of about 40,000 members, and together we give about $50,000,000 to the local and global cause of Christ among Evangelical Friends!
