The NZ Missions Meal Plan is a tool to build awareness of global missions and close the gap in our monthly support. It's only successful if we are able to accomplish both of those goals.
What Does It Mean to Join the Missions Meal Plan?
We are asking individuals and families do three things. First, we ask that you select one meal/month to fast and pray for ministry here in New Zealand. We will keep the team updated as to what's happening with our ministry but we'd like your interest in New Zealand to go further. Whether it's reading about New Zealand from Wikipedia or from books in the library, regularly visiting the church's webpage, or keeping up on the news feeds one can find on the web, we are asking that families embrace what God is doing in this nation (bigger than just the Reynolds) and pray for those here in the trenches of ministry.
Our second ask is that you take what you would normally spend on that meal and commit it to our monthly support. This will help close the gap in our monthly support. If 125 of our prayer supporters joined the meal plan and committed $25/month, we would be able to stay our full term.
Phase II is when we make our third ask. After participating in the NZ Missions Meal Plan for 2 months, we'll ask you to invite a friend over for "non-dinner" - the meal you or your family have been fasting through. This is your chance to share with them what is happening here, have them pray with you, and build their global awareness. At the end of the night, we ask you to challenge them to find a place in the globe that interests them, find a missionary they can partner with, and start the fasting/support in their own home. Wouldn't it be cool if this ended up being an unexpected encouragement to missionaries in every nation? Wouldn't it be cool if suddenly people in your church became voices and supporters of what God is doing throughout the globe?
How Do We Join?
First, send an email to us letting us know you want to be a part of this (dreynolds422@gmail.com). We'd love it if you'd let us know the meal you are fasting through (if it's regular) and who in your family is participating - we'll be praying for you too!
Then, click here to set up the monthly support with Global Partners. We ask that you commit what you'd normally spend on a meal for you or your family (reallocating monthly budget funds instead of adding to the budget) for the remainder of our term - through November 2012.
