Intense Ministry Incubator Concept

The SWTX Conf. UMM Steering Committee was looking for some ideas for “Intense Ministries”, a concept that will involve men giving a significant boost in starting up a ministry at local churches. The Steering Committee has chosen this opportunity to be a “Ministry Incubator” for the “Intense Ministry” concept.
 Pictured above is the "Intense Ministry Incubator" symbolized by this illustration. Below and to the right is Pastor Sean McGahan, (left), pastor of "New Beginnings", and Ralph Eckwall, (right) standing beside the first delivery of canned goods to the church's food pantry.

This is an ecumenical faith community support designed to meet the needs where they exist for the duration of three to nine months. This first “Intense Ministry” is for a small church in Bastrop, “New Beginnings”, located in a neighborhood where the neighbors have many needs. The members of “New Beginnings” are eager to start a food bank of sorts to include food and baby needs such as pampers. Progress and life stories will be relayed from this effort and ministry.

Food and other items collected at Annual ConferenceTo that end attendees at the 2009 SWTX Annual Conference contributed cans, other food items, and diapers, pictured at left. The men of the Ausitn District UMM at their quarterly meetings, continue to support this ministry by bringing food items to their meetings.

For more information, please contact Ralph Thompson, SWTX Conference UMM President, ralph-t@wcc.net.
