New Initiative in Old Instruction World-Wide Ministry
† Methodist-Motion -
Methodist-Motion is about laity-helping-laity advance in, with, and for, today's Methodist Movement... It is about motion - "moving" - as a disciple in Jesus Christ, as a disciple with John Wesley and our Methodist brothers and sisters, as a disciple for our neighbors - the sick, the poor, the needy, the elderly, the dying, the handicapped, the suffering, the less fortunate, THOSE who cannot do for themselves. -
It is a 'New Initiative in Old Instruction' and is about an awareness of our history in Methodism, it's roots, it's many subsequent fruits. It is about discipleship and our daily commitments to Jesus Christ. Est. October 2009 *
Great Things From Greater New Jersey... Mim is simply a
"Methodist in-motion..." While studying to become a lay speaker in the United Methodist Church, he quickly
realized the significance of the history of what was then called an "exhorter." While attending the Certified
Series under/with Rev. Ed Carll, FUMC Westfield and Mark Halverson, GNJC - and while preparing for Laity Sunday 2009 with
Sandy Jackson, GBOD and Rev. Anthony "Tony" Godlefski, MUMC - he developed the concept of Methodist-Motion it's initiative and accompanying website
network. Subsequently, it's
mission was fully realized and launched with Pastor Tony in October 2009. It represents a unique
partnership between clergy and laity - between close friends - on behalf of the world's laity - in the
ministry of Jesus Christ. It is indeed a work in progress... A special thanks to Bishop Peggy Johnson and
to Bishop Sudarshana Devadhar - who's captivating presence, mesmerizing words in June of 2009 - ultimately
paved the way for what would become a Methodist's "motion..." The
real author of course lies within the mystery and power of The Holy Spirit...
In February 2010 - While working
with Mark Halverson, GNJC and Sandy Jackson, GBOD - he developed the Lay Speaking Mission initiative and accompanying
website network to help support the United Methodist Lay Speaking Ministries Mission...
In February 2011 - While working
with Jay Brown, the GNJC CLM Class-of-2011 and Sandy Jackson, GBOD - he developed the CLM Mission
initiative and accompanying website network to help support the United Methodist Certified Lay Minister Mission...
* The Methodist-Motion
website networks were created by Mim in an effort to Make A Difference in our world today - as a Christian, as a
Disciple, as a United Methodist Laity Member...
* One person can make a difference... *
