Bishop Ken Carter encourages us to give generously on June 3 as our mission offering will go towards the Offering for Annual Conference. The funds collected at conference will be divided evenly between ZOE Ministries and funding for training laity and clergy in innovative forms of evangelism.
About ZOE Ministries
According to global research, 385 million children are living in extreme poverty throughout the world. The debilitating results are disease, hunger, exploitation, abuse, illiteracy, and hopelessness. ZOE’s approach has proven that children living in poverty also hold the greatest capacity to create lasting solutions for themselves, their families, and their communities.
By investing in local, indigenous leaders in seven countries on three continents, ZOE’s distinctive, holistic international development model provides the vital relationships, training, and resources to empower young participants to overcome the isolation and stigmatization associated with extreme poverty. We are blessed to be able to assist Zoe Ministries in empowering children and youth to become self-reliant and able to give back to their communities and churches. www.wearezoe.org/
Training Laity and Clergy
As I move about the annual conference I consistently see our churches engaged with their communities in new and exciting forms of evangelism. Training our laity and clergy in creative and contextual ways of reaching out will be essential to sustaining and creating vital churches in the future, and in reaching new people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for giving. Bishop Ken Carter
