National/International Missions Develop a plan to raise awareness, financial assistance, or material assistance for global missions. Prayers, Presence, Gifts, Service, and Witness Educate the congregation and the greater community about missions locally and globally so that people can make a decision on how they will assist in this mission opportunity according to the United Methodist Church’s membership expectations (prayers, presence, gifts, service, witness).
