يكتب ب [مرك] [فن] [ستينوك]: نوفمبر - تشرين الثّاني 28, 2007

ب 2008, سيستأنف هذا موقعة كنت كنسيج مجلة. هذا سيعطي قارئات إختبار عظيمة حول ماذا هم يقرأون, يجعل الموقعة أكثر [أوسر-فريندلي], ويقدّم فرص عظيمة لحوار وتنوع المحتوى.

هو أيضا سيسمحني أن يكتب تحديثات حول ي خاصّة حياة ووزارة. القديمة يسوع كان بيان رسميّ [بلوغ] شخصيّة. ليس ال [نو ون]… نحن يتلقّى يوسع استماع الآن. غير أنّ يجد أنا أنّ أنا أفتقد [بلوغّينغ] حول ي خاصّة كفاح شخصيّة وي خاصّة وزارة إصدارات.

هكذا عن صفحني إن هذا موقعة يكون مثيرة إلى أنت. حاليّا [ميسّيو] [دي] في وقت مثيرة بما أنّ كثير الناس يكون يصبحون جزء من وزارتنا. نحن أيضا نّظر في يشتري وزارة مركز.

تعهديشغل [ميسّيو] [دي] حاليّا بلديّة وزارة منزل ويلتقي يوم الأحد أمسيات في الطابق سفلي من محلّية قهوة متجر. يفتّش نحن يتلقّى يكون آخر فراغ لمعيشة مقصودة ل بعض وقت. ويؤسّس نحن يتلقّى فقط خاصية أنّ عمل جيّدا ك نا وزارة مركز.

الخاصية قضيب قديمة أنّ يتلقّى يكون [إيمّكلتلي] أحيات واهتمّت ل.

ال 4600 [سق فت] عدّلت خاصية في $550,000 (مع ذلك مع السوق الطريق هو, نحن يمكن كنت يمكن أن يحصل هو ل بعض) وحدّدت في الموقعة مثاليّة ل نا وزارة حاجات. It has apartment space for intentional community (with minimal remodeling, we’ll be able to turn it into a spacious 4 bedroom apartment), a large gathering space (for up to 100 people), office space, and a restored basement that would be used for art studios and/or classrooms.

It also has a very full sized two car garage (which would be used as workshop space), a large lot that would add more space for our urban gardening project, and an enclosed outdoor courtyard between the garage and the main building.

This would be a great next step in what we?re doing. Missio Dei has been faithful for the past few years?we?ve resisted easy growth as we?ve sought to root ourselves in the neighborhood. We?ve become a people of hospitality, a people of prayer, a people who put faithfulness to Jesus before the ornaments of church success. This property would help us to do everything we?re doing now, but with greater intensity and greater impact. We?re ready for this. We?re praying for this. But we need help from brothers and sisters in Christ to make this a reality.

We’re trying to raise $100,000. I know it is a lot. But this property will give us a HUGE step forward, allowing us to dramatically increase our impact. We’d have a larger capacity for intentional community, the ability to serve the local programs that lack classroom space, an increased capacity for hospitality, and a long-term gathering space for our various meetings.

Having a down payment will allow us to get a loan from the Mennonite Church USA. Or, at the very least, it will allow us to work with an investor while retaining a stake of our own in the property.

Here’s how you can help:

1) Give financial support. At the top of the Missio Dei website (www.missio-dei.com) there is a link that says “give.” This is a totally secure online giving portal, created for Missio Dei by Vanco Services. Your donations are tax deductible. If we are unable to purchase the property in question, your donation will be set aside for the future purchase of a ministry center.

2) Pledge financial support. If you’d like to help us purchase this property, but want your financial support to go only towards this particular property, you can pledge your support via the contact page on our website. Make sure you include your phone and address, along with the amount you intent to pledge.

fund sidebar3) Tell others! If you have friends and family that might be interested in the work of Missio Dei, let them about our need. If you have a blog, let your readers know about our need. We’ve created a special image that you can add to the sidebar of your blog.

Add the image to your sidebar and direct it to www.missio-dei.com. We’ll keep this information on our home page until we are able to purchase the property.

    I’m not irritated by you at all for this. Shoot, part of the reason I kept my Livejournal when I started writing Absolution Revolution is because I needed to keep an outlet for more personal matters.

    Granted, some of my more personal stuff involves re-posting cat macros and silly little quizzes, whereas yours has more to do with ministry stuff and other important things… ;-)
    I will keep praying for you to be able to raise what is needed, for sure. And you have my meager pledge, which I hope will be joined by many, many more.

    Wow! What an opportunity! That it so exciting, and I affirm your stepping out in faith to raise $100,000! With you, I believe that if this is God’s dream for Missio Dei–and it sure looks like it!– it will happen.

Got something to say?
