Focus Groups and Contact People: The missions program has reorganized to personalize  communication with our missionaries.  Missionaries have been divided into areas of ministry, and contact people are being recruited to lead focus groups for each area.  The contact person and focus group will coordinate communication, prayer, and information with the missionary, with the missions committee, and with the church.  This structure will distribute work and responsibility among several people.  The areas of ministry and contact people are listed below.

Children—Susan Harris and Fern Patz

Youth—we still need a contact person

International Students—Mike Edenburn

Families and Assistance—Reid Warner

Materials and Publishing—Amanda Essenmacher

Asian Leadership & Development—Diane Macneil

African Leadership & Development—Mal & Ginny Fisher

Native American Communities—Don Lauser

Muslim Outreach—John & Jeanette Doughty

India Outreach—Randy Nederhoff

Retired Missionaries—we still need a contact person

If you would like to help with one of the focus groups, please contact the group's contact person. 

Our next Meeting will be held on June 13.  It will be an orientation session for our contact people and focus groups.
