First MI-3 Meeting in Toronto a Huge Success

It was an afternoon to remember as we had our first MI-3 Meeting in Toronto.MI-3 stands for Mission to Inspire, Identify and Invest. This was the first of series of meetings that will occur over the next year to see who will be willing to serve in the mission field. It was a very encouraging time as we saw 400 people attend the meeting. It was an afternoon of great worship, information, prayer and fellowship. Guy Hammond, Leo and Connie Teeuwen and Howard and Karen Martin were the church leaders in attendance as well.A presentation was given on London and Kingston which are 2 of our future plantings. Guy Hammond shared about what was going on in Halifax and talked about the need for help as the Halifax church will be pivotal in future church plantings eg.) P.E.I, New Foundland and New Brunswick.

Andrew and Kevin did a great job in breaking down the strategies that we have for future plantings and mission work.

Short term
A. Summer Surge - 0-60 days in an existing church serving, studying the bible with people etc...
B. 1 year challenge - 6months - year in an existing church serving, studying the bible with people etc...

Long term
A. Pass the torch - average 2-3 years (goal...replace yourself) in an existing church or a mission team
B. Going for good - in an existing church or being on a mission team

We then had a time of Q/A and ended the night with more prayer and fellowship
The goal is to have these meetings on an average of 4 times per year
Let us all continue to pray that God will move hearts and make it clear as a church where we need to go.
In Him
