iDiscipleship Launch :: Sept 1

The 2012-2013 season of iDiscipleship is set to launch on September 1, 2012.

Last year, over 400 MKs used the iDiscipleship platform to read a total of 56,000 chapters of the Bible!  iDiscipleship is more than a reading program.  It is a website that allows students to come together from anywhere in the world, track their Bible reading, engage in small-group discussions, share prayer requests, keep a private journal of all they are learning and so much more.   Originally developed to help MKs have Bible studies together online, iD is now open to ANY group of students who wants to commit to reading 3-4 chapters of the Bible each week — youth groups, Royal Rangers and Girls Ministries, Sunday School classes, and more.  Your group can join with hundreds of other students for a powerful and unique discipleship experience.

MK Office says Goodbye to Brianne

The MK Office sadly says goodbye to Brianne Smythia on Wednesday, March 14th. If you are in the Springfield area, stop by the MK Office this Friday, March 9th between 2-4:30 PM.
Brianne has been with the MK office since July of 2009 and has left a happy smile on the program that will not be forgotten. In her time here, she has served as the Resource Assistant and has been the primary point person for all college-age MK ministry. She also invested countless hours to bring the ISMK a brand-new fresh and updated look.
She leaves us to return to her home state of Ohio and pursue further education towards her masters degree.
Brianne, we wish you many blessings and days filled with "sunshine on your shoulders." Thank you for your contribution to MKs around the world!

Beginning 2012

The month of January went by so quickly! It is hard to believe that we are in the second week of February.  So much has happened. January started off with a retreat in South Africa. We were honored to have Steve Pulis preach to our youth, Jay Risner lead our elementary MKs and dynamic ladies from Texas and Kansas head up the younger programs.  Thanks to their hard work the retreat was a true success!

The last few weeks in January were filled with packing and unpacking boxes. We moved the MK Office down the street! Even though we still have the same mailing address, the MK Office has relocated to the corner of N. Campbell and W. Lynn in Springfield, MO. It was a lot of work, but well worth it.

Summer program preparation has begun. We are having a design contest for our summer t-shirt! Click here if you would like details on how to enter. The deadline is March 1. There are so many talented MKs; we are excited to see what they come up with.

Please keep us in your prayers. The season ahead is exhilarating! We have various college visits, an MK caregivers conference, a Task Force to Costa Rica and so much more coming up.
