MISSIO UPDATE

June 24, 2020
The unprecedented season of the COVID pandemic followed quickly by the loud outcry against injustice in our country have given the people of God much to pray and lament over. During this prolonged season of crisis and now protest, I have been encouraged to hear Missio graduates and students stepping forward to love their neighbors with acts of service and cries for justice. 

This prayer meeting was begun in March as a means to call the Missio network of believers to join in praying for the immediate needs arising under the unknowns of COVID while we were scattered under Stay At Home orders by the governor. While an awareness of the need to pray for the work we are each called to do has been amplified by the distress around us, the returning of our area to routine work schedules reduces the opportunity for us to gather virtually. Thanks for your participation in this prayer call—It is has blessed my soul in a time when my soul needed blessing.

June 25 Webinar: Becoming an Authentic Ally - Register Here
Many American Christians of all races, along with others in the nation, have turned out in large numbers in the streets of our cities to protest police misconduct and racial injustice in the past few weeks. One of the questions that non-black Christians have wrestled with as they sought to support the cause of racial justice has been “How can I become a true ally to my black sisters and brothers?” This panel will explore this critical issue at the heart of what it means for us to be one body in Christ at this time in our history.
