Ways Global Ministries
Can Help
Your Church
Gary Dilley
November 2003
Global Ministries can help your church
in various ways when it comes to missions. we would be glad to
meet with you personally, or talk with you by phone, about such
issues as these:
- How can we make our congregation more
aware of the changes taking place in the world, and how God
is working?
- How do we become more strategic and
make a difference through our mission efforts?
- How do we prepare our work team?
- "I'm thinking God may be calling me
into cross-cultural ministry, what's my next step?"
- How can our church partner with UB
people in another part of the world?
Many UB churches want their missions
efforts to become more strategic and purposeful. To help accomplish
that goal, Global Ministries offers a new workshop called "Designing
Your Impact." The workshop, led by a Global Ministries staffperson,
helps churches select and implement a strategic missions focus
which is based on the unique vision and resources God has given
them. This workshop assumes, though, some past mission involvement
and local church structure.
Many of our churches would benefit from
a first step called "Global Access Planner." We have already
met with several UB churches to help them plan out the foundational
steps for an effective local church mission thrust. Before leaving
the planning session, the group sets the priority steps they
need to take during the next year. Details on each are available
from the Global Ministries office.
In addition to Gary Dilley and Donna
Hollopeter in the office, Randy Fennig is serving with Global
Ministries in this area. Randy is pastor of Prince of Peace UB
in Springfield, Ohio. He served ten years as a missionary to
Mozambique with African Inland Mission, and is currently working
on his Doctor of Ministry in Cross-Cultural Ministries. He would
be delighted to be of service. Contact him by
email or call 937-325-4346.
