Big Picture of Ministry

January 29, 2016

Fundraising expert Lilya Wagner led nonprofit ministry leaders in a work session about funding their ministry activities. These leaders previously participated in two training sessions about developing strong and viable ministries in partnership with God.

Puget Sound Adventist Deaf Ministries leaders were surprised when 21 guests came to learn from deaf guest speaker Francisca Trexler about two topics: tithing and health. Ministry leaders are planning a second session with Trexler at Seattle's Volunteer Park Church in the fall of 2016.

Representatives from new and established thrift store ministries in the Pacific Northwest recently attended and networked at a Thrift Store Ministry Summit in Federal Way. Thrift store ministries provide a way to service working families to receive dignified and affordable services.
