This plan contains the strategy for achieving the 2009-2012 organizations objectives which are in support of the ministry objectives outlined in the “Four Areas of Focus”.  Those strategic objectives are:

 

 

 

            1.  Developing principled Christian leaders

 

            2.  New places for new people & renewal of existing congregations

            2.  Awaken men, and build men spiritually as primary means to revive

                 effective discipleship in men through Wesleyan Building Brothers (WBB). www.buildingbrothers.org

 

            3.  Train UMM leaders to become advocates and friends of the poor, and

 

                 eliminate the effects of poverty and racism.  Expand US hunger relief
