Stewardship Announcement from NW Ohio Synod

Stewardship – When we see this word or when we hear this word we think “MONEY”, but stewardship is much more than your monetary gift. It is the GIVING of yourself, your time and your talents.

RAINBOW OF PROMISE – Namaste! This traditional Indian greeting is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with the hands pressed together in front of the chest, palms touching, & can be translated as “the Spirit in me greets the Spirit in you”. Do you have a great desire to meet new people; to greet the Spirit within them? What would it be like to greet others in a place where Christians are a minority in a primarily Hindu culture? What would it be like to serve on a team that is called to give support to Indian Christians who are sometimes persecuted, or share Christ’s love with the poor or hurting? Are you able to pas¬sion¬ately and openly speak about your faith with others? Youth Encounter will sponsor Rainbow of Promise, a relational music ministry team to India and Nepal for August 2008-August 2009. We are looking for people who are excited to minister in a culture different from their own! We want people who are passionate about Jesus & sharing His love! To apply for Rainbow of Promise or any of the other teams Youth Encounter sponsors please visit www.youthencounter.org and click on Ministries! Questions? Contact Mary Bull, Director of Recruitment at 1-800-65-YOUTH, ext 8474.
