Ministry Updat e
This November, the Servant Ministry Team that I have
been working with helped to put together a
conference—titled Plotting Hope—to discuss how to
better serve the needs of the hurting in the
Maplewood/Richmond Heights area of St. Louis. On the first night of the conference we held a roundtable
discussion with the Mayor of Maplewood, the assistant superintendent of the MRH schools and several other key
community leaders. The following day, Professor Greg Perry, of Covenant Seminary, gave two talks on the
motives for serving others. As I continue my work with the SMT, we hope to carry on the dialog that has started
with our community in order to discover the best ways that we can help those around us who are hurting. For the
time being, we continue to do what we can to aid people meet their overdue rent bills and to help faciliate change
in their lives when they are out of work or in need of other forms of support (whether those needs be physical,
financial, emotional or spiritual).
