Celebrate Global Missionaries by Engaging in M2M

As with The Cry, the International Alliance for Missions, Inc. (IAM) believes that Mission to Missionaries (M2M) is part of the current movement God is creating in this province and across our nation.

M2M is a time and occasion for missionaries to receive recovery and strengthening in Christ’s rest (Matthew 11:28-29). Information on the retreat, its purpose, and goals can be found in the "What is M2M?" post below. It is also a response to a growing need. (Read "Why Minister to Missionaries?" by Dermot Westcott for more insight).

IAM is looking to the Body of Christ across Canada to engage in M2M. Please help us care for the missionaries attending M2M by participating in one or any of the following ways:

• Pray for M2M and the missionaries who will attend.
• Organize a simple fundraiser: funding will help cover the costs of accommodations, activities, and services used by the missionaries throughout the retreat.
• Donate: Make an in-kind or cash donation. Besides funding, there are various goods and services that could benefit M2M and its guests.
• Volunteer: you may have special skills, training, or talents to share with the participants at M2M.

Feel free to comment or ask questions. For more information you may also email us: info@hissecretplace.ca.

Volunteer by Organizing a Simple Fundraiser

Ask your pastor or church leader if you could hold a fundraising event for M2M. There are many events that are effective and easy to organize. For example; bake sales, spaghetti dinners, and café nights are all great ideas. We highly recommend organizing a fundraiser where you could sell coffee from www.coffeeonline.org. If coffee bought from this site is being used to raise funds for M2M, it can be purchased at a discounted price.

The purpose of M2M is to provide global missionaries with a week of restoration of renewal, but to do this we need funding. By organizing an event for M2M, you and your church family will be helping to encourage missionaries who serve in various parts of the world. Funding for M2M will cover the accommodations, outdoor activities, and other services partaken by the missionaries. We do not want missionaries (who already sacrifice so much of themselves) to be burdened with having to pay for this retreat. Therefore we would like them to enjoy M2M for free. Please prayerfully consider becoming involved. Email us if you require further information (info@hissecretplace.ca) or Apply now!

You can participate from home, wherever your home may be.

Newfoundlanders have been known to populate different towns and cities in other parts of Canada. This week I have been searching for churches in these areas, as Newfoundlanders living away will no doubt be interested in this one-of-a-kind retreat taking place at home. Just think; our world-renowned hospitality will be used to honor and bless global missionaries. This is an awesome opportunity.


How can Newfoundlanders living away participate?

There are a number of options. Firstly, we need people to cover M2M in prayer. We also need funding to pay for accomodations, activities, and any other services used to bless our missionary guests. Thus, we need people to partner with us by organizing fundraisers (such as bake sales and spaghetti dinners). There are also various goods and services we need that people could contribute (all tax-receiptable). Finally, we need to encourage missionaries to attend.

But are we encouraging only Newfoundlanders to participate? Not at all. This is an international retreat with Kingdom purposes. We are calling on all Christians (all denominations and churches everywhere) to participate in whatever way they can. Let's unite and work together.

Note that we greatly appreciate any amount of participation we recieve; whether it be from an individual, group, or congregation.
