Men's Ministry

[Cpt. Jack]

Anyone know why we did away with Men's Ministry? Does this mean that we'll be closing down Women, Youth & Children's Ministry? If so, why didn't it happen all at once?


Just curious?

Its all about the money or the lack of it. It looks like if a ministry does not produce enough revenue it's close the door. Just look at the old Evangelism Department, gone,gone ,gone.

The Women's Ministry virtually pays for itself with the regional retreats...

Children & Youth are a part of Bishop Howard's core value of Harvest...

zactly.
I know that the various ladies retreats also receive offerings specifically to support the retreats in other countries. Sister Cathy and Brother John work very hard, in my opinion, to stay accountable in that area.

I think that dropping the HQ-Woman's ministry would be a bad thing. the local/regional retreats for women would, n my opinion, stop. maybe not right away, but without a central focus of contact for driving those, I am not sure that they would otherwise continue.

even in a state/region like ours with a thriving woman's ministry, I think it just wouldn't work - just my dos centavos.

as for the men's ministry - we have been local and regionally based (for always as far as I know). and though, as mentioned we have had HQ men's ministry reps come to our retreats, we would continue to have them, even without that representation. I think it was my second regional men's retreat when Bishop Fisher came.

but as with most of these things, just my conjecture, filled with my personal experiences leading me to biased conclusions based in information and a paradigm that only I have.
