We believe strongly in both the warmed heart
(personal faith) and the outstretched hand (active mission).
We further believe that the light shines farthest abroad shines
brightest at home. (Matthew 5:16)
Argument over whether mission should be
local or foreign misses the obvious point that it must be
both. God lays a particular heart calling on different people
to engage in different areeas of mission. We affirm each should
obey that call, whether local, national, or international.
However, no one is called to do nothing! We can go, let go,
or help go. (Acts 13:1-3)
Furthermore, we believe in partnering with
other ministries - United Methodist and beyond - for blessing
all God's people and for building up God's kingdom.
We thank God for the South Georgia Conference
ministries here in Macon that include:
- The Methodist Home for Children and
Youth
- Wesley Glen (for adults with special
needs)
- Magnolia Manor (retirement center)
- Wesley Foundation (campus ministry)
Martha Bowman has invested itself in many
local ministries that include:
- Macon Outreach at Mulberry (feeding,
clothing, and assisting those in need)
- Habitat for Humanity (helping people
to home ownership)
- Power House (youth ministry to at-risk
teens)
- AIDS ministry
