Growing Ministries
With Alvaro Nova Ochoa, Mission Developer, Comunidad de Esperanza, Tulsa, OK
Through Living God's Abundance our congregations and ministries will be supported as they imagine who and what God is calling them to be. The campaign will encourage creative and innovative missions in existing congregations and plant new ministries across the AR-OK Synod.

Inspired Leadership
With Pastor Meredith Harber, Eben Ezer/Oaks, Oaks, OK
Congregations are challenged daily to adapt to our constantly changing world. Through Living God's Abundance we will provide ongoing training and support for our rostered leaders (pastors, associates in ministry, diaconal ministers, and deaconnesses) and lay leaders to effectively "equip the saints for the work of ministry" in our contemporary world. We will also rise up youth and young adults who have gifts for ministry and leadership.

Vibrant Connections
With Pastor Joe Liles, The Neighborhood Church, Bentonville, AR
Bridging the distances between the congregations and ministries of the Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod is an ongoing challenge. Through Living God's Abundance our congregations and ministries will be connected to one another in new ways, support and encourage one another in ministry and use technology to communicate more effectively with members, other congregations, and the communities where they serve.

Sharing Abundance
The New Testament challenges us to overcome our fears of scarcity and share our blessings with others. Our God blesses us to be a blessing. Through Living God's Abundance and in gratitude for all we have been given, we have the privilege to participate in ministries beyond our local congregations and the boundaries of the AR-OK Synod with glad and generous hearts.
