2010 is off and running for the singles ministry around the world in the
International Churches of Christ. Every month more churches or family
of churches are having single conferences, workshops or retreats.
Whether you’re in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta,
West Africa, Singapore, Manila or Kuwait, singles around the world are
coming together to grow as disciples and advance the gospel of Christ.
Truly, the churches are seeing the impact that the singles are having on
our world.
The Singles Service Team and the Metro Manila Christian Church
announced the 2010 International
Singles Conference in Manila, Philippines August 12th -15th.
“Soar” is the theme for this year’s international conference. The
action begins with a workshop for all single leaders on Thursday, August
12th followed that evening with the opening night celebrations. We are
looking forward to over two thousand singles from around the world to
come together and dream about what God is doing with the singles
ministries. An additional Singles Manila Volunteer Corps, working with HOPE
worldwide will kick off on Wednesday August 4th, to serve
those affected by last year’s devastating flooding.
One of the focuses the singles ministry is trying to address is the
conversion of more men. Sadly, many of our churches have an imbalance
of women to men. There are bright spots in our churches but they are
the exception rather than the rule. One way to deal with issue is
creating, what we call in the Dallas church, the “M-ing Dynasty”.
Inspiring men (the m) to be involved in events that they are attracted
to (the-ings), such as golfing, fishing, hiking, etc… More stories and
information will be coming soon about such activities and how they are
helpful in drawing men to Christ.
