North American World Desk

Thank you for your interests in working together in ministries and missions throughout North America. This is our first attempt at working together in mission relationships using blogs.

I see us sharing information in several ways:
1. Using this Blog: The blog will cover information I receive through the General Board of Global Ministries, work we aredoing within the Commission on Mission/Outreach, and news I receive through emails, … It is a joint process. I am urging others to join us share information that can benefit the total mission work. Share information you wish to be placed on the blog in one of two ways: email information to me, mcollins@wnccumc.org or share your comments after each posting.
2. Enews: The WNCC-enews is our number one way of sharing information. If you have not signed up for the WNCC-enews please do so at http://www.wnccumc.org/.
3. Conference Calls: As time and finances permit, we will have conference calls to share information.
4. Commission on Mission/Outreach: The Commission (or its future organization) meets two-four times a year through conference calls or in-person. Joe Collins is the North American Desk Coordinator. Should items be brought to our attention through the Blog or other means, Joe will bring this to the Commission’s attention.

I am looking forward to partnership with you.

Mike Collins
