Grace Mission Ambassador Program
The Mission and Evangelism Board is pleased to announce a new outreach effort
called the Mission Ambassador Program. This Program will provide matching funds
to person(s) for specific mission/evangelism related services. To become a Mission
Ambassador, the Board requests information about proposed trip which should include
the purpose and program information, estimated cost and why the person or group was
called to serve in this way. Monies to support this program will be through an
established giving program and distributed based on matching funds raised by the
proposed ambassador. This program will be ongoing so funds will be designated to the
program rather than to an individual. The named Ambassador(s) is(are) expected to
help promote the program and to report to the congregation upon their return from
their services.

Mission Focus for January
"World Mission Month": January celebrates the wise men's visitation to the baby Jesus and the spreading of the
Gospel to the world. Mission offerings for this month will be designated for Lutheran Hour Ministries and our
mission ambassador program. For this year's mission festival, Dr. Douglas Rutt, Director of the International
Ministries division at Lutheran Hour Ministries will be our guest speaker. Dr. Rutt oversees the International
Ministries division in St. Louis, Missouri, as well as the staff of more than 30 ministry centers worldwide. He
is responsible for setting the division's vision and planning; evaluating programming and training; stimulating
healthy growth of local support in each country where LHM has an office; maintaining productive working
relationships with local board and partner church leadership; and maximizing the number of responses and
congregation referrals around the world by directing, coaching, and supervising area counselors to prepare and
empower the ministry centers to proclaim the Gospel message appropriately to their local populations.
Mark your calendars for Sunday, January 29th mission meal and presentation. |
