Mission Forum 2007

Mission Forum 2007

Over 200 hundred people came to Mission Forum on Saturday September 15 and learned about Risk Taking Mission through worship, workshops, international lunch and "global village" displays. The Mission Store was there; project coordinators from our national and international Partners in Mission projects were there to answer questions and help participants with the Mission Triva Game. Displays from mission groups such as Mision Milby, UM ARMY, Mercy Ships, CONAM, and others were there to educate and involve people in mercy ministries. Top names from the General Board of Global Ministries were on hand as workshop presenters, as well as some of our mission partners from Mexico and Cote d'Ivoire. Lakewood UMC were marvelous hosts as they helped set up and direct people to classes throughout the day. At the sending forth service, Jackie (sp?) Banman and Tommy Lyles provided a challenge and a consecration service sending people out into the world in risk taking mission and ministry. Next year's Mission Forum is slated for Saturday, September 6, at First UMC in Huntsville Texas and will feature our Partners in Mission projects, local, national, and international.
