Focus On WMU 2012

By Marca Deimund

January 2012

Focus on WMU week is February 13-19. During this week we are celebrating what WMU has done in the past but also looking at the resources Women’s Missionary Union provides to WMU age level groups, churches, and individuals for missions education to help us live a missions lifestyle, through prayer, giving and going. 

When we take a good look at the resources around us and get creative about incorporating them in all of our small groups and worship experiences people will be drawn to the mission of WMU, reaching the lost, the mission of the church itself. 

For the next two years our theme is unhindered!  The focus Scripture is found in Hebrews 12: 1-11 NIV.  This passage of Scripture carries on from chapter 11 where a list of our heroes of the faith are listed and what they believed, lived and died for.  We are then encouraged to throw off all that hinders us, including our sin, run the race set before each of us with our eyes fixed on Jesus, who died on the cross for the sins of the world.  This is our mission.  Live the life, and go and share the gospel with the whole world.

Project Help for the next two years is Human Exploitation, and it covers far more areas than what first comes to your mind.  This is a project that touches people around the world from small towns, metropolitan cities, rural areas and everything in between.  From bullying, human trafficking to migrant workers and the list goes on!  Anytime we use another human being to their harm and for our benefit; that is human exploitation.

Check with your pastor and see what you can do to focus on WMU during this week.  Maybe it’s time for you to start a new WMU group to be an active part of your churches goal for your community and their larger vision for the world.  WMU has mission’s opportunities, ministry projects and resources to help you accomplish these goals set before us!
