A Springboard for Action

Mission emphasis events provide a special opportunity to praise and thank God for what he is doing to advance His kingdom. It is a time when a local congregation can focus attention on the work of missions-at home and abroad.

By obtaining this booklet, you have already shown a desire to expand and sharpen the mission focus of your church. Your interest in creating a successful mission emphasis event is the result of the Holy Spirit working to strengthen and expand God's Kingdom. This booklet is not intended to be an exhaustive list of ideas but to serve as a springboard for your church's needs and creativity. Add your own ideas and freely adapt the ones given.
