    MISSION AND SERVICE COMMITMENTS LETTER

    Friends,

    One of the privileges of being a United Methodist Christian is participating in a connectional church.“Connectional” means that each individual in each congregation is connected to a part of the wholechurch. In our North Carolina Annual Conference, 821 congregations combine their resources toreach out further than any one of them can do on its own.

    The purpose of this report is to share with you how each dollar given to mission is spent and tocelebrate the many ways this conference reaches out its arms to the people and places that needto hear about the love and saving power of Jesus Christ. That is truly the commission from ourLord, to “go and make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 29:19).

    Jesus has called us to be the hope of the world! And if we are to be that hope, we must be engaged in those places where hope ismost absent. At the 2007 Annual Conference, we heard or read reports on many ministries - Project AGAPE, Golden Cross,Methodist Home for Children, the Mississippi Conference (for Katrina relief ), ZOE, Disciple Bible Outreach Ministry,Camping and Retreat Ministries, MERCI, and Criminal and Justice Ministries just to mention a few. The annual conferencecontributed offerings to the salary and pension fund for Liberian pastors and approved a donation of over $8,000 to the pensionfund for pastors in the Central Conferences. We celebrated the chartering of Solid Rock UMC with 330 new members andpledged faithful and prayerful support to five new church starts. My friends, all of these are means of transforming lives, not onlyin our backyards, but in the global sphere - go and make disciples of all the nations.

    Our discussion the past two years has centered around the seven pathways - 1) developing new congregations; 2) transformingexisting congregations; 3) teaching the Wesleyan model of reaching and forming disciples of Jesus Christ; 4) strengthening clergyand lay leadership; 5) reaching and transforming the lives of the new generations of children; 6) eliminating poverty in communitywith the poor; and 7) expanding our racial/ethnic ministries.

    These pathways serve as our internal compasses and give us leverage points that can propel us toward the vision of a redeemed andtransformed world. Friends, there is a sincere burst of Spiritual energy in our conference - we have a shared, focused, andcompelling vision around these pathways. And God is blessing us with a kairos moment as we are seeing growing towers ofstrength, vitality, and beauty - powerful signs of God’s presence.

    Let’s gird up our loins and put on the whole armor of God and offer God’s marvelous grace to this postmodern world! And let’sremember that “the best of all is, God is with us! We are not alone! The Lord of the Harvest who sends us into the fields will seeto it that we do not return empty-handed!”

    Grace and Peace to You!

    Bishop Al Gwinn
