Secretary General of WEA Rev. Adv. Botrus Mansour said that his tour in Canada during the second week of February provided both mutual introductions and an opportunity for long term WEA networking and fundraising as well.
“I had taken the tour mostly to introduce myself to members of our national alliances, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC). I was delighted to note the excellent reputation of EFC and what they do to foster unity.”
Mansour’s visit included breakfast with former Secretary General Dr. Geoff Tunnicliffe and several partner ministries. The SG explored possible collaboration to follow up with visits when he arrives in Canada again in early July to speak in the Baptist World Alliance.
Rev. Mansour preached in both Mississauga City Baptist Church and First Baptist Church in Toronto, using Jesus’ meeting with the Samaritan woman as the focus of his sermons.
The WEA Secretary General also gave lectures at Regent College in Vancouver as well as Tyndale University in Toronto sharing his insights into the state of the evangelical church around the world. Rev. Mansour also spoke at the ministerial community gathering in Willow Park church in Kelowna, met with Rev. Dr. David Wells of the World Pentecostal Fellowship. He was also interviewed by Dr. Rafik Barsoum for Al-Karma TV that broadcasts to the Arab world.
Mansour thanked global ambassador Dr. Brian Stiller, the Peace and Reconciliation director Phil Wagler and vice chair of the international Council as well as the President of EFC, Dr. David Guretzki for arranging this tour.
