The Wisconsin Board of Global Ministries is the missional instrument of the United Methodist Church. As disciples of Christ, we follow his lead in helping those who are in need.
Members of the Wisconsin Board of Global Ministries and its committees are challenged to inspire and educate districts, circuits, local churches, and individuals about the many mission opportunities available. The Board also recommends ministries to be funded through Conference apportionment dollars and designated funds, and has oversight responsibilities for segregated funds from gifts and bequests designated to be used for missions.
The Wisconsin Board of Global Ministries helps to make disciples of both those persons who are able to act out their faith through a myriad of opportunities at our various agencies/VIM trips and those persons to whom we are reaching out who are hurting and impoverished. The board also supports a variety of ministries throughout the state which offer opportunities for members in local churches to give of themselves through their time and money.
Deadline for 2012 Class of Mission Interns Is February 5th
For 60 years, Global Ministries has been sending young people into service. Through the US-2 and mission intern programs, we have enriched the lives of thousands of young men and women, and through their witness touched uncountable youth, adults, and communities. The US-2 and mission intern programs develop church leaders, as young people work in communities that face issues such as poverty, racism, or environmental justice. US-2s serve two years living out faith through social justice in the United States. They live, work, and make a positive impact working with a United Methodist partner organization, boldly reexamining their role and participation in society to address systemic injustice. Mission interns integrate the global and local by serving for three years, approximately half of the time in an international community and half in their home country. They respond to the prophetic voice of communities and individuals working for systemic change around the world, walking the path of justice, mercy, and love. The deadline for the 2012 class of mission interns and US-2s is February 5th. Please share the application with those in your networks and communities between the ages of 20 and 30 throughout our global connection, who are committed to addressing the root causes of injustice. The application is available here. Mission interns and US-2s are encouraged to engage in disciplined theological reflection and are equipped to discern God's calling for their lives. Thank you for partnering with us in shaping ethical, prophetic Christian leaders who are engaged firsthand in God's mission in a world of injustice and need.
