New Logo for Global Ministries

Jeff Bleijerveld, Director
As far as I know, Global Ministries has never had its own official logo-- something that signifies who we are, what our values are, and gives Global Ministries its own identity.

Until now. At the top of this webpage, you can see our new logo. You'll be seeing it on all of our materials in the months and years ahead.

Throughout its existence Global Ministries has sought to partner with others to accomplish the Great Commission. Therefore it only seems fitting that its logo, modeled after the "cord of three strands" in Ecclesiastes 4:12, reflect its commitment to work with local churches, national conferences, and partner agencies to fulfill its mission.

Decrease in Administrative Charges

Global Ministries has lowered the administrative fees for ministry and building projects from 10% to 7%. While charging the fees was at times sporadic and inconsistent, the fees will now be applied to all projects. The 7% fee covers promotional, postage, accounting, and administrative expenses. It also covers Western Union fees that range from 3-13%.

UB's Working Together to Impact an Unreached People

Reid Mayta is the pastor of the United Brethren Church in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. In recent years, Pastor Mayta and his church, networking with others, have been reaching out to the Tawahka Indians in Honduras. Marlene, Reid's sister-in-law, was recently asked by the Tawahkas in Yapuwas, on the Patuca River, in the Mosquitia, to go visit the "Old Man", over a hundred year old, to make sure of his spiritual well-being since he could die soon. Marlene immediately traveled in. They picked her up in their dugout canoes. The only way to the village is by river, a 7 hour journey from the nearest landing strip. Marlene is being used to bring this Unreached People Group to the Lord. Pastor Reid and others are hoping Kevin Sprinkle and friends from the Morning Star Church in Kokomo, IN will be able to drill some wells for clean water this coming year. They will try to get the equipment in with the help of the military in Honduras. God is changing the Tawahkas. Our UB brothers and sisters appreciate the Lord allowing them to participate in His work among this unreached group.

Churches with Shared Interests

Three UB churches are passionate about helping UB churches in specific countries--Mexico, Nicaragua, and Honduras--and are looking for other churches that share their interest. A single church can make a big difference. Several churches focused in the same direction can make a huge difference.
