During the 2007–2008 school year, Indiana Conference hopes to welcome 12 missionaries to Indiana! When some think of missionary service, they generally think about going overseas somewhere. However, the truth is there is an amazing mission field right here in the Lake Union. Through an initiative called "Mission: IN Possible," Indiana Conference leaders will assemble teams of two to juncture with various churches where pastors and members have responded to this concept. The team will spend a year helping church members reach their communities for Christ.

Recruiting is ongoing at several Seventh-day Adventist college campuses, and several talented prospects have indicated their interest in the program.

Indiana missionaries will receive room and board, a monthly stipend for living expenses, and an opportunity to earn college credit and receive a scholarship for school.

Interested individuals may contact Peter Neri, Indiana Conference ministerial director, for additional information by calling 317-844-6201.

I invite you to pray for our missionaries not only overseas but those right here in Indiana as well.

Gary Thurber, Indiana Conference president
