How is Midland Ministries Financed? The ongoing outreach to teenagers as well as their families and other adults by Midland Ministries only continues because friends like yourself who have a burden to give financially. As well as general ministry needs, each of our staff raise 100% of their own salary. All gifts made out to Midland Ministries, whether designated for general ministry or for a staff member, are tax-deductible. Perhaps today God has shown you, that you too, need to be involved in this ministry through your financial giving, as well as your prayer support. Remember, your gift will count for all eternity. May God Bless You. “Not because I desire a gift, but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” Phil 4:17
WHERE DO WE MINISTER ... We have established a primary ministry area that we believe the Lord wants us to concentrate on. The area is basically a 50 mile radius of Troy, Kansas, with our Hiawatha Youth Center on the west and The Midland Center in St. Joseph, Missouri on the east. We also minister in the Southeast Nebraska and Southwest Iowa areas as well as Northeast Kansas and Northwest Missouri. Our staff have made ourselves available in and outside this area for pulpit supply, rally speakers, camp speakers, plus to help in anyway we can to further God’s Kingdom.
A SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR ...
On behalf of our Board of Directors, as well as our full-time staff, I want to express our sincere gratitude to you for taking a few moments to look over Midland Ministries.
We hope and pray that after spending a little time with us you will discover what God is doing in and through us and that you too will want to become a part.
Dr. Al Metsker, founder of Kansas City Youth For Christ, had a dream of establishing ministries all over the United States with the purpose of reaching teens with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Midland was a part of that dream. Originally established with a Youth Rally held on October 18, 1977 Midland operated as an associate ministry of KCYFC until July of 1989. KCYFC desired to concentrate on the metropolitian Kansas City area and requested that ministries outside KC become independent of KCYFC. On July 1, 1989 we officially became Midland Ministries.
Since then God has blessed in many wonderful ways as we have seen countless lives changed for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Catch the vision! Proverbs 29:18. Then we would ask you to do one of the following.
¨ PRAY. We need people to pray for the ongoing work and that God will bless. ¨ GIVE. We need people to give in many ways. Give of your time as a volunteer or give of yourself by telling others about our work or to give financially to help meet our ongoing needs in this ministry. ¨ GO. We need people to serve the Lord in a full-time capacity. Give us a call so we could talk to you about the possibilities, they are endless! Mike Mosiman . . .
