Through a series of five webinars you and your mission/outreach team can be trained as a Global Ministries Ministries and Mission Interpreter (MMI). This will enable you to join the network of over 1100 Disciples and UCC MMIs! Isn’t that great news?

Want to know more about what an MMI is and does?

A Ministries and Mission Interpreter (MMI) is a person who:

  • has a passion for learning about God’s mission
  • tells the story of Global ministries in our congregatons, regions and conferences
  • motivates and trains others to be involved in global mission
  • links the interest of an individual or congregation with resources and opportunities through Global Ministries
  • works within existing region/conference mission teams and communication networks
  • builds and participates in the national MMI network  

An MMI serves by:

  • utilizing Global Ministries resources, videos, website and staff in one’s own continuing mission education
  • inter-relating with region/conference staff, boards, and mission or outreach committees
  • making global mission visible at association/district, region or conference annual meetings and regional assemblies
  • presenting mission stories and resources in newsletters, websites, individual conversations, small groups, worship or special programs
  • finding ways to fit mission into conference/ region ministry goals and structures
  • encouraging others to follow Global Ministries on Facebook

You can participate in the webinar in front of your home computer as an individual. Or you can gather your mission/outreach team in a classroom in your church building with an LCD projector and a High Speed internet connection.
