Emmanuel Connections has a core premise that all believers
are called to be missionaries in their own sphere of influence. Now just as there is a variety of spiritual
gifting there are also a myriad of places and endeavors God places His
people. It is all in His timing. We are
where we are – at this moment – for a purpose.
That purpose is to reflect the life of Christ which is in our hearts so that
others may get to know Him.
Currently we are involved in the following endeavors:
Intercessory Prayer – for
individuals, groups, communities, our nations and for other nations. This work under-girds all others. Anyone can avail themselves of our
intercessions at any time.
Heart Threads – Folks involved in this work use their
passion and gifting for fabric arts to bring a blessing to others. Projects have included , dish cloths for gifts to donors to the feed program, prayer shawls, hats for winter, plastic sleeping mats and much more.
Mentoring Formation of Missional Groups - We give assistance and encouragement to those
who desire to pull together a small group of friends with the intention of
supporting one another n their spiritual journey.
Church Start - We are in the process of starting an Anglican
worship community whose primary focus is mission. St Peter’s Mission – Following Jesus Together
is the name of our current mission.
Bible Give Away – We give away bibles to those who are
seeking – both at home and abroad.
Africa Connections – We support several orphans and various
projects in Africa- mainly in Rwanda, Kenya and Malawi. Our heart is to be a
support to widows and orphans as well as to encourage indigenous missionaries to reach out to the un-reached peoples. We also
provide training for those in leadership.
Chaplain- We are involved in hospital as well as
community chaplaincy.
Short Term Studies – Spiritual
Formation, Contemplative prayer, Bible Experiment, Discovering your Gifts, Truth Project, and Story Telling through the Bible are just a few of the offerings,
Collaborating with Others – We are actively involved in
support of other ministries in our area and encourage others to do so as
well. In the Meridian area we are actively involved in helping The People’s Charity Clinic of East Mississippi,
The Mustard Tree Mission, Wesley House…and others as the need arises.
Community
Gatherings – We coordinate various community gatherings in an effort to build
fellowship in our neighborhoods.
