Bishop Barron has spoken about his dream of evolving Word on Fire from a ministry into a movement.
The first step of that process is to form a community of evangelists who share the same mission and desire to proclaim Christ using beauty, goodness, and truth. The critical task of training modern evangelists to effectively proclaim Christ to the culture is the primary motive behind the establishment of the new Word on Fire Institute (WOFI).
“We need a vast, well-formed army of evangelists,” says director of the Word on Fire Institute, Jared Zimmerer, “who encourage one another, strive after a radical relationship with Christ through the sacraments, and leave their doorstep every single day ready to proclaim Christ in the culture.” This combination of community and action is essential to the future Word on Fire Movement. The new WOF Institute is the primary starting place for this to be realized.
We want to formally invite you to join the Word on Fire Institute, which is now open!
