Mission Indy is dedicated to equipping Christians to serve others. We do this by encouraging churches to be the Hands & Feet of Jesus where they are planted, challenging participants' thinking and paradigms about what God is doing and how they can be engaged, and training participants in skills and methods of sharing life. We believe that groups who spend time with MI will be motivated to allow God to use them to faithfully display His wisdom and love.

Urban Ministry Institute Changes
The Urban Ministry Institute began last fall, with one course. The projected plan for scale-up was that we would be ready for a full course load in the Fall of '07. Registration Deadline had been July 30th.

However, it seems the wheels of academia and even our comfortable church culture, move more slowly than what it takes to generate the interest level for all of the courses we hoped to offer. Therefore, it is with much regret that we must cancel the following two courses:

UM704: The Church in the City: An Asset-Based Approach to Community Development with Dr. Richard White (Sep 9-14)

UM605: Strategies, Methods & Models for Urban Mission with Dr. Robert Douglas (Sep 8, Oct 13, Nov 3, and Dec 8)
At this point we continue to talk with the area churches in hopes of keeping the other two courses, but will keep this site updated.
 
C'est Finis!
The summer program is finally finished. It was a great success: God blessed us in ways we could not imagine. He taught us lessons we weren't expecting to be taught. And he showered us with new friendships.

Here are the week 4 photos. Enjoy. You can also see the whole gallery. Or you can browse through them menu system to get there: More Cool Stuff > Photo Gallery.
