RPM-Michigan Missionary Church Women Represent!

Our Michigan District Women have the opportunity to stand up and be counted as Representative Prayer Members (RPM). A wikepedia definition of RPM- is a unit of frequency. I love that idea in relation to prayer! Take at look at all the Missionary Churches of the Michigan District, and see where YOU can fit in to stand in the gap as a Prayer Warrior!

Sweet Life Cafe Mini Retreat

Your Michigan Missionary Church District Steering Committee is sponsoring a special event on Saturday February 27th. 52 women from our Metro Area Missionary churches will be meeting together at Warren Missionary Church for a day of Savoring time with each other and with God.

Although this event was open to all our Michigan District churches, we know due to logistics that the concentration of women would most likely be from our Metro area churches.

In April the Port Huron Church will have it's annual Ladies Day out, and this draws many women form the east and thumb area of Michigan.

On Tuesday July 20th is our Mancelona Camp Ladies day service. Tina Turner from Faith Missionary Church will be sharing her Heart touching story of God's healing in her life. I know you will be blessed and encouraged by her message! The ladies at Mancelona have a carry in luncheon OTG (On the Grounds)at noon , followed by the afternoon service. If you can join us for this special day, it will be worth the drive!

On Tuesday August 3rd is our Brown City Camp Ladies Day Service. Our Theme "Treasures in the Attic" will feature speaker and author-Sheila Wray Gregoire. If you would like to get to "know" Sheila before camp, you can follow her blog, or "see" her on You tube. http://tolovehonorandvacuum.blogspot.com/ We look forward to seeing you all during Brown City, and encourage those of you that may not be at camp for the whole time to drive in with a group from your church.

At the Sweet Life Cafe in February, and at Brown City Camp Ladies day, we will have a Book Table available. The proceeds from the February Sweet Life Cafe donations will go towards sponsoring 3 Pastors in Sierra Leone to go to a Pastor's retreat from the Yalunka 2010 project.

Michigan Missionary Church women are making an impact not only in our local churches but around the world. I would also encourage you to become a part of the Global Prayer Network. On the National Women's Missionary Church level, we have been asked to find a Prayer leader for every one of our 52 churches in Michigan. I would love to be able to report back that we are on the way to being a part of this most important ministry! If you are already a prayer warrior, and would like to "represent" your church I would love to be in contact with you. I can keep you updated with the Happening's stateside and around the world in the Missionary Church. Contact me at lordor@hotmail.com.

Missionary Church Women National Council Meets

www.mcwmi.org is the offical web page of the Missionary Church Women's Ministry Council.

We also have a link under Women's ministries at the District Level web page:
www.mcmichigan.sammson.com



As Director of the Michigan Missionary Church Women, I am priviledged to meet with the District leaders of the Missionary Church USA.

We met in person in November of 2009, and meet via phone conferencing approximately every month to pray, share ideas, and plans for each of our District Women's groups.

Michigan Women play a vital role in the Missionary Church. Missionary Church President Bill Hossler has asked that all the women's ministry groups strive to:


1. Identify and support prayer coodrdinators in every local churches.

2. Help churches focus on enthusiastic support of missions through prayer and volunteers.

3. Ideas and suggestion for aggresive outreach to unbelievers

We would love to have you share your ideas on how to implement these in our local Michigan Churches!
