Military Ministry Success Story

I guess the first thing I can say about the Ministry Central table experience is: Wow! What an awesome way to highlight our ministry! The Military Ministry has had a couple of large events since its inception (Christmas cards and misters) and the response from the church has been fantastic. But the ongoing ministry is the adoption of members of the military currently deployed overseas. This portion of our ministry had not caught the attention of many members of the congregation, or maybe the ability to adopt a serviceman/woman had not been communicated well.

The weekend at Ministry Central gave our Ministry that opportunity. We more than quadrupled our adoptions just in that one weekend!! What a blessing that weekend was for those servicemen and women who will now receive cards, letters and goodies from 'home'. Thank you, Scott, Joe, Rick and Ron, for allowing our Ministry to be a part of the Ministry Central focus.

Jon and Suzanne Amos and the entire Military Ministry Team
