Commissioning of Sewing Seeds of Faith Leaders
On June 1, 2015 Disciples of the Way commissioned and installed the Sewing Seeds of Faith leaders and missionaries. DOW is blessed to have several volunteers and staff leading this ministry: Philip Ball, Margaret Ball, Patricia Fuller, Karen Nygaard, Adrienne Sekishiro, Elsa Ogbay, and missionary Yirgalem Ketema.
The service included a sermon by Pastor Karim Baidaoui on Matthew 20:25-28: "
Whoever would be great among you must be your servant... even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.
" Following that the missionaries promised to lead and serve their neighbors and make disciples of all nations with the help of God. DOW is truly blessed to have so many willing and eager servants, and we pray that God would lead others to join them in service.
