Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. 49 This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous 50 and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Sermon: Ps.

FROM MISSION FEST SOCIETY (MFS)
THANK YOU!
Words can’t express how grateful our hearts are for all who came, exhibited, served, and made Mission Fest BC 2025 happen! The testimonies of healing, salvation, and freedom have been gloriously pointing to the One who was truly in our midst! Each day of the conference was filled with wonderful conversations, powerful worship, and encounters with Jesus.
MFS Request- Partner With Us—for one more miracle!
We need another miracle from Jesus to finish funding Mission Fest BC 2025, and we would love your prayers! As of this week, we still need about $15,000 to cover conference costs.
