Friday Focus: empowering peer to peer evangelism

The best and most authentic evangelism takes place in the context of relationship. Mission Academy Live launches on 16 September, using 10 video-based sessions to empower thousands of 11-18s across the country to reach out - intentionally, authentically and relationally - to six friends for Jesus.

UN: women’s economic empowerment

The 61st session of the Commission on the Status of Women, taking place in New York from 13 to 24 March, will focus on 'Women’s economic empowerment in the changing world of work.’ This session gathers together global leaders, NGOs, private sector actors, UN partners, and activists from around the world, focusing on the status of rights and empowerment of all women and girls. It takes place as the world of work is changing, urged by innovation, globalisation and increasing human mobility. At the same time, it is adversely impacted by climate change, humanitarian crises, rising informality of labour, and economic inequality. For sustainable and healthy economies, the world of work must empower women and remove the persisting inequalities that hold them back from getting on equal footing with men.
