2021 VIRTUAL GLOBAL SUMMIT

October 22-23, 2021

The intent of this 2021 Virtual Global Summit was to provide for “family time” for the Wilberforce Mentees and Staff. The pandemic precluded our meeting face to face as scheduled but we want to have time together as a family, brothers and sisters in Christ. We wanted to give you time to talk about what God is doing through you and because of you. For those of you that missed the Summit you can watch each day or excerpt videos of each presenter. (Viewers please excuse the quality of the Zoom videos as some participants had unstable internet connections.)
