Many churches find it difficult to get a handle on ministries involving
men but there are many ways to tap into the gifts found in your church.
Men are motivated best by short-term projects, and we offer several
suggestions to you.
First we suggest you go to our Missions
page and check out the local opportunities. You may find something you
can partner in providing volunteers on a monthly basis. We have also
included opportunities in building teams and disaster relief. These
two ministries have mobilized many men and women to do short-term mission
work.
You would do well to check out the devotional suggestions
for men listed under Resources. There are also links that help you in
this area. Ongoing programs such as RA's or Royal Ambassadors is an
organization for boys that centers on mission education and involvement.
The link will take you to someone in our Association who can help you
get started or strengthen your ministry in this area. The link will
take you to his e-mail.
You can also learn more about mission opportunities on
our Adult Missions Projects, Baptist
Builders, Campers on Mission,
Mission Projects, Volunteer
Builders, and Hurricane Relief
pages.
