The Mission Team
The traditional purpose of the mission team has been to administer or assign the mission budget to the mission “partners” of the Open Door. However, the team started praying about what the job of this team really was – and kept coming back to the word “PARTNERS”. The team has identified a new purpose of being a bridge between the congregation and our mission partners by developing creative ways for the Open Door to not only financially but also physically, emotionally, and prayerfully unite with our mission partners. This also lead us to the realization that we do not need to financially support someone/an organization in order to partner with them; therefore, we added a new category to the existing neighborhood, local and global groupings: associate partners.
