The United Methodist Church is embarking on an
exciting, new kind of evangelism/outreach, using modern technology and
the common language of television to spread the Good News of Christ to
a world in need. Igniting Ministry is the first national
advertising campaign to help raise awareness of The United Methodist
Church.
Igniting Ministry offers us at Normandy new outreach
tools, highlighted by a series of powerful national cable network
commercials designed to raise positive awareness of our church, backed
up with regional training, a matching-grants program and a World Wide
Web presence. Watch for “ads” beginning September 4 on CBS
“The Early Show” and many cable stations. The purpose of
Igniting Ministry is to proclaim the gospel as we increase awareness
and recognition among 25- to 54-year-olds of The United Methodist
Church’s basic beliefs, foster among nonmembers a positive feeling
and willingness to visit a United Methodist Church, renew a sense of
commitment among United Methodists.
