Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man
who fell into the hands of the robbers?’ He said, ‘The one who
showed him mercy.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go and do likewise.’
Luke 10:37
In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting
their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of
reconciliation to us. So we are ambassadors for Christ, since
God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf
of Christ, be reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:19b-20a
Christ empowers his followers to love their enemies and to
believe that no one is beyond God’s love and forgiveness.
James R. Krabill
Together in Mission, Core Beliefs, Values and
Commitments of Mennonite Mission Network
Missio Dei, Volume 10

Notas do Editor

  1. After 11 years as an organization it is time to take a step back and look at who we are and how we talk about ourselves as an organization. We wanted to find a way to encapsulate the complexities of what we do that communicates who we are. To give us a handle on how to encourage people to share their faith. The conversation started at our 2011 Advancement retreat and continued through the 2012 Advancement meetings. Bringing together our knowledge from connections to donors, pastors and constituents, and our expertise in public communication, media, etc. we developed a list of ideas and concepts. Mrkcom then took that list and began to refine and pare it down. More about that later. First we started with the documents that form us and our ministry.

  8. Current tagline Other background docs --Road Signs - 2010 --People in the Pew - 2007 With all of this info to start with, we needed to establish some criteria for our messages.
  9. Criteria for message Short (3-5 words) // Be biblically and theologically sound - embody how we think of and do mission in the world // Provocative - Needs to be a conversation starter // Adaptable to many uses // Evocative // Can you preach it? //
  10. Back to the list of ideas—pages and pages of ideas. We narrowed the list to a manageable number of concepts and did some informal internal testing. After tossing out some ideas, adding new and refining others we came up with 5 concepts. We were ready to begin more serious testing. Testing in this case means a number of things. One of our usual methods is what we call the “parent test.” We do this especially with multi-media. If our parents can’t see the print or understand the audio, or if our brothers and sisters get bored before the get through the piece, then others will have the same experience. (And they like the inside look at what their children are working on.) For this project we used --focus groups --in-depth interviews //

By word and deed, the church announces to the world the good news that people and communities can be reconciled to God and to one another – that they can be transformed into Christ’s image and experience the healing of God’s grace and peace. // Christ empowers his followers to love their enemies and to believe that no one is beyond God’s love and forgiveness. // Christ's ministry shows that the gospel is to be proclaimed and demonstrated to all, and that only love can overcome evil. When he saw Be the Gospel, James said, “if anything characterizes our work and workers around the world it is this.” //
