Midlands Mission Center Plan for Ministry - 2009Share equally –

International Headquarters contributes to almost 40% of our budget or $241,513. This does not include oblation aid, and Church Plant, World Hunger & Tangible Love grants.Only 37% of the total combined contributions of the congregations of the Midlands Mission Center or $517,839 go to World Mission Tithes. Over half of what the Mission Center gives to World Mission Tithes comes back to us. This reduces your impact on the world community as portrayed in the offertory stories.

Why a mission center?• We come to church to join together as the

body of Christ, because as the body of Christ we can live God’s Kingdom in action in our community.

• The congregations come together to form a mission center, the living body of Christ, to meeting greater needs then we are able to do as a congregation.

• The mission centers come together in a world community, the living body of Christ, to meet the even greater needs of a world-wide community; proving to the world that peace between nations is possible.

We are all theMidlands Mission Center

Christ’s body living and working in our World
