Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends Missions Purpose Statement:

The Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends Missions Purpose Statement reads:   The Christian Mission is to share the “Good News” of remission of sins and new life through Jesus Christ to all persons everywhere (Luke 24:47 and Matthew 28:19).

This is most effectively accomplished when presented by both word and deed as exemplified through the life of Christ as He fed the hungry, healed the sick, cast out demons, and in general, met the needs of the people with whom He was ministering.

The Indiana Yearly Meeting Missions Committee agrees that we can further this mission by serving our meetings in the following areas:

1. Create an awareness among meetings and individuals as to the biblical mandate of missions and a vision for ministry. (Matt. 9:36, 28:19)
2. Help create a feeling of partnership and responsibility among individuals and meetings to support our missionaries through encouragement, prayer, personal visits, work camps, and finances.  (Eze. 36:26-27)
3. Educate meetings as to who our missionaries are and the work they are actively involved in.  (Matt. 9:37-38)
4. Facilitate missions promotion through newsletters, correspondence, ideas, methods, visual aides, and providing speakers and programs.  (Eph. 6:5-6)
5. Encourage believers to listen and respond to God’s leading in their personal lives and assist any who feel His calling toward mission work. (2 Cor. 5:17-20)
