09 Oct Global Ministries Meeting Today

The Global Ministries team gathers around Miriam Prabhakar to pray for her at the conclusion of her report.

The Global Ministries Leadership Team meets twice a year, and they’re meeting right now. The always follow the same format: the Finance Committee meets Wednesday night, then the full team meets all day Thursday and Friday.

Thus far today:

• They heard reports from Jeff Bleijerveld and Donna Hollopeter.
• Looked at a possible new logo for Global Ministries.
• Looked at Finances. Things are pretty good.
• Spent an hour hearing from Miriam Prabhakar about her work.
• Looked at a set of guiding principles for Global Ministries.
• Reviewed new missionaries in the pipeline. Several people are at various stages, from ready to go, to just considering possibilities.
• Discussed policies regarding Global Ministries personnel and UB membership. (For instance: can we allow dual membership, so that a missionary can be a member of the church he attends on the field, rather than only being a member of a church in the States that he no longer attends, but needs to stay qualified to be a Global Ministries missionary?)
