I am excited that you are exploring i-connect Illinois Ministry Connection Network, the new initiative being developed for our ministers and families into deeper connections with one another through team networks.
Many of us have experienced both ends of the spectrum in ministry, ranging from isolation to the benefit of a few significant relationships. Often the "urgent" has left us living more in the former rather than the latter. We have identified the need; now is the time to take action.
I am confident that as we step into this new season of forming ministry partnerships and experiencing greater connectivity, we will grow both individually and as a fellowship. Our vision is for every minister, and family to have a network of relationships that offers support, will bring renewal, and will facilitate greater grace both personally and within our individual ministries. My commitment is to support you in the connecting process. If there is anything that I can do to support you personally or in regard to your ministry, please make the connect.
Check the website for additional information throughout the year as we implement this initiative. Following is an overview of i-connect to get you an idea of what an i-connect team looks like.
If you have any questions or would like to sign up for a connection group, please email me at bsink@idcag.org or call the District Office at 217.854.4600, Ext. 4111.
