| Kansas Mission Opportunities |
|
Confessing that Jesus is the head of the church and gives growth to His kingdom, the Kansas District asks for the Spirit's blessing on our Ablaze! Mission Plan, which includes the following goals: |
1. New Church & Ministry Starts - Our goal is to plant 12 new congregations by 2017.
2. Revitalization of 70 Congregations - workshops and grants to help congregations revitalize their mission and outreach to meet the unique ministry challenges in their communities: |
- Urban Ministry Outreach
- “We Can” Module Workshops for rural congregations
- Strategic Ministry Planning Workshops
- Foundational Fund for congregational grants
|
| 3. Human Care Vision - develop resources for disaster readiness and response; care for church workers. |
- Mobile Command Center: provide on site pastoral care and essential communications immediately following a disaster
- Disaster Training: hire a full-time worker for one year to do disaster planning
- Congregational Preparation Grants: for congregations to become official Red Cross Shelters (showers, etc)
- Endowment Fund: to ensure that all church workers will be able to utilize the Kansas District Retreat Center to find needed respite and Sabbath.
