SIM Canada Field missionaries serve across a massive geographic spread, and many do not have other SIM missionaries nearby. A Spiritual Life Conference (SLC) is vital not only for the encouragement and spiritual vitality of our missionaries, and a key event for unifying SIM missionaries and ministries within Canada. New opportunities, new direction, wisdom, and vital networking occur during conferences like this. SIM Canada Field missionaries have expressed a desire to be reconnected with other workers, and an SLC is often the only opportunity many of the missionaries have to connect with each other after a long season apart.
