Vol 7 No. 15 A Whole Neighbourhood of Ministry Partnerships

Dear Folks,

Last September, as we began to examine what we believe God has called us to in ministry and in the CBWC, we started to collate all the different ministry partnerships we had in our midst. Just for starters, we thought of children and families, church planting, regional leadership teams, and our camping and educational partners.  Then we started to realize there were a lot more partnerships than we thought. We decided that we would identify each ministry partnership, and capture

1.       It’s mandate for ministry

2.       Those who are leading it

3.       Those that the ministry was intended to serve

4.       Selection, renewal and orientation of prospective leadership members

5.       All the financial implications that are part of the ministry

Bob Webber, our Director of Ministries, with the help of Naomi Wakeman, is capturing these areas of work. My friends, we have over 55 ministry partnerships, some more involved than others.  Please see the list below. Please do two things with this list. Pray for those ministry partnerships that are listed here and secondly, give thanks for the remarkable things that we are doing as churches with and through each other.

Just remember; a neighbourhood of partnerships, a world of possibilities.

Warmly,

In Christ,

Jeremy
