Episode 3
In March, just before COVID hit, Bob did a week-long training event at ICYA. This podcast is the message he gave at a public event we held at Canadian Mennonite University about the meth crisis in Winnipeg, and how it relates to what they do in Tierra Nueva, which is located in Burlington, WA.
Bob and Gracie Ekblad are the Founders and Senior Leaders of Tierra Nueva. They pastor and teach locally and internationally, bridging divergent worlds inside and outside of the Church. Their calling is to help recruit, equip, and empower people to communicate good news about God’s love that combines Word, Spirit, and Street perspectives at the service of people on the margins.
