Gabrielle and Natasha wrote a presentation based on their own experiences of leaving home, facing challenges, and finding new meanings for home, family and friends. Gabrielle led in prayer for Keren, with all the children present gathered around Keren to bless her. As we move into the 21st century, COM has many opportunities for ministry. Priorities are constantly being evaluated and reshaped to meet the demands and needs of the day. One of COM's top priorities is sharing the message of the Gospel and inviting people to faith and life in Jesus Christ.
Opportunities provide challenges.
As congregations and individuals in mission, you have the opportunity to be a part of the work of COM here in North America through your financial support. One way to participate is through the New Century of Mission Campaign or a COM project . Before they began the work, congregation members agreed to give to mission 1 percent of the amount they spent on their own project. It was a good way to finish off our building project. What a wonderful challenge to every congregation thinking about spending money on its own church facilities.
