Spring is finally here in Springfield, MO! I know that many of you are probably still hip deep in snow, and still others of you live in places where it never gets below 80 degrees! However, for us here… this is a great time of the year. I hope and pray that you are all having a great time as well!
I wanted to write you a quick note to let you know that ISMK FIRED UP is ready for you to sign up! This is a new initiative of MK (grades 7 – 12) small groups online! We will probably be using Facebook, but we are not necessarily limited to that. Each small group leader can decide what will work best for their group. Every MK that signs up for ISMK FIRED UP will be assigned a small group, and with it, a leader and assistant leader. The leaders are all MKs that have grown up where you are, and they are looking forward to meeting you younger MKs! ISMK will also be a part of these small groups.
ISMK Fired Up has 2 main goals:
1. Community. We want to be a part of a small group community with MKs around the world. We want you to have the opportunity to build relationships with other MKs! I believe that we can strengthen each other. You have the opportunity to meet MKs, and to be a part of other MKs lives!
2. Discipleship. We will all be reading the Bible together, which we have tried to make attainable. We plan on reading about 4 chapters per week. At this rate, it will take 6 years to complete the entire Bible – which is a long time, but I know it will be worthwhile! This will also generate discussion online with the other MKs and the leaders.
This program will launch on September 1st, however, all applications need to be done as soon as possible. We need to assign MKs to leaders/groups. No more applications will be accepted after August 1st for the 2009 – 2010 school year.
This is going to be a group effort that I think we will all benefit from! I think it will take a little bit of effort to start with, but will be well worth our time! Check out the promo video on at www.ismk.org/fired_up.
I hope to see your name on the ISMK FIRED UP list!
