EFC-MAYM Ministry Team Leader Gathering Via Zoom Friday, July 24, 2020 5:30 p.m.

PRESENT: David Bailey, Robyn Burns, David Byrne, David Crisp, Manny Garcia, Diana Hoover, Dave Kingrey, Julie Kinser, Jeff Linville, Randy Little- field, Dennis McDowell, Mike Neifert, Jesse Penna, John Penrose, Diana Roe, Jenna Schmidt, Thayne Thompson, Jared Warner, Wanda Warner, David Wil- liams, Brad Wood, Lois Carr – Recording Clerk.

Thayne Thompson opened the time with prayer.

David Williams expressed his thanks for the leaders in EFC-MAYM and his thankfulness for Zoom and other technology that enables meeting online for Ministry Conference. Time was provided for others in the meeting to express their thanks and to offer concerns for prayer. Diana Hoover led the group in prayer for those concerns: the challenges facing our Congolese churches, the loss of loved ones for several in the meeting, a pastor’s wife’s surgery, the In- ternational Multiplication Conference set for November 11-13 online, Friends Women’s Retreat scheduled for September 18-20, the beginning of school for Barclay College and Friends University.

Time was spent in discussion of details of the Ministry Conference and the ways different events would be accomplished electronically. David Williams asked those present to remember to pray for the conference speaker and the theme of hospitality. He gave a personal example of a recent encounter and urged us to be aware of people along the way, to allow space for a Spirit-led capacity to notice people and offer some meaning for their lives.

The session closed with a responsive prayer.

Opening Session Hosted from Northridge Friends Church Via Live Stream Friday, July 24, 2020, 7:00 p.m.

The worship music team from Northridge opened the session with the song Great Is Thy Faithfulness.

David Williams and Thayne Thompson welcomed Ministry Conference participants. Thayne prayed for God’s guiding presence throughout the conference. He introduced the conference guest speaker, Dan Kimball, who is speaking from his home in Santa Cruz, California. His topic for the opening session is “They Like Jesus But Not the Church: Barriers to Hospitality.”

Dan Kimball gave a personal illustration of the way in which he encountered loving hospitality that helped him trust Jesus. He gave an overview of the changes that have occurred in society’s view of the church over the past 30 years. He pointed out today’s slow erosion of faith, a general lack of teaching on basic doc- trines of faith and apologetics, and the rise of biblical illiteracy in teenagers. He reminded us that God’s truth remains true in every generation.

Dan Kimball’s presentation was followed by an interactive question and answer time.

Thayne Thompson closed the session in prayer.

Morning Session Hosted from Northridge Friends Church Via Live Stream Saturday, July 25, 2020, 9:00 a.m.

After a worship music opening, Thayne Thompson and David Williams greeted the conference participants and Thayne prayed.

Jesse Penna introduced a video on Student Ministries, highlighting events from the past year.

Dan Kimball spoke, continuing the theme of hospitality and addressing the bridges to hospitality. He urged us to view our local community as a mission field in the same way we do other countries:

• What would your quarterly mission report say? • When is the last time you socialized with someone who isn’t a Christian? • Think like a missionary and train the church to as well. • Normal relationships build trust. • When trust is there, questions will come. • Create a culture of question asking.

Dan Kimball closed the session by praying for the Ministry Conference and at- tendees.

RP3 Diana Hoover read a letter from University Friends Church stating their decision to retain affiliation with Great Plains Yearly Meeting, a member of Friends United Meeting (FUM) and to resign their affiliation with Evangelical Friends Church - Mid America Yearly Meeting, a member of Evangelical Friends Church - North America (EFC-NA). That letter is reprinted here.

June 11, 2020

Dear Friends:

We are writing to let you know that the status of University Friends Church in relation to Evangelical Friends Church-Mid America Yearly Meeting (EFC- MAYM) has changed. As of July 25, 2020, we will no longer be affiliated with Mid America Yearly Meeting.

We also want to provide some context for that change, beginning with a look at our history.

Kansas (now EFC-MA) Yearly Meeting was set off from Indiana Yearly Meet- ing in 1872, and Kansas Yearly Meeting was a part of Five Years Meeting when the latter organization was formed in 1902. Nebraska Yearly Meeting was established in 1908, also part of Five Years Meeting. In 1937, Kansas Yearly Meeting left Five Years Meeting and later became part of what is now Evangelical Friends Church International. Nebraska (now Great Plains) Yearly Meeting has remained with Five Years Meeting (now Friends United Meet- ing).

The first worship service of what was to become University Friends was held in October of 1898 and University Friends Monthly Meeting was established in 1899, as a part of Kansas Yearly Meeting. For a number of years, we met on the campus of Friends University.

With funds that included support from Kansas Yearly Meeting and Quaker Women, we erected a new building, dedicated in October 1926, just blocks from campus. From then on, for the next forty-two years, Kansas Yearly Meet- ing held its annual sessions in that building.

In the late 1960s, University Friends Meeting joined what was then Nebraska (now Great Plains) Yearly Meeting. This affiliation was recommended by Richard Newby, our pastor at that time, and it was welcomed as reflecting the close ties many in our church had with folks in Friends United Meeting. Since then, University Friends has had dual affiliation, formally connected to

5 and accepted by the two yearly meetings. We have enjoyed thinking of ourselves as a bridge between these bodies of Friends, and we have seen our dual affiliation as an expression of our commitment to diversity and a reflection of the diversity of our own Meeting. More recently, we have increased our participation in Great Plains Yearly Meeting and Friends United Meeting, while we have continued to embrace our connections to EFC-MAYM, support its ministries, and participate in its programs.

In January of 2018, the Executive Council of Evangelical Friends Church North America affirmed a statement on marriage and sexuality that says, “… marriage is a God-ordained, covenant relationship between a biologically born male and a biologically born female” (letter from David O. Williams, Lead Superintendent of EFC-MAYM, February 7, 2020).

Last spring, in May 2019, Great Plains Yearly Meeting approved a Statement of Inclusion, which states that “people of any race, ethnicity, religious belief or non-belief, nationality, socio-economic status, gender identity, sexual orienta- tion, marital status, mental or physical ability are welcome in our midst and are invited to fully participate in the life of Great Plains Yearly Meeting” (https:// www.greatplainsyearlymeeting.org/).

University Friends Church has neither affirmed nor repudiated either Evangeli- cal Friends’ statement on marriage and sexuality or Great Plains Yearly Meet- ing’s Statement of Inclusion. Some members of our Meeting welcomed the Great Plains statement. Others hold to the Evangelical Friends position. As a congregation, we aim to love one another, regardless of views on marriage and sexuality.

In addition, the Executive Council of Evangelical Friends North America decided in January 2019 “to disallow dual affiliations with other Friends organizations,” and in January 2020, the Elders Board of EFC-MAYM approved asking University Friends “to clarify their commitment to either EFC-NA or FUM” (letter from David O. Williams, Lead Superintendent of EFC-MAYM, February 7, 2020). We would need to choose one or the other.

University Friends took up the question of our yearly meeting affiliations during a time of transition that has followed the resignation of Cliff Loesch, our pastor of twenty-five years. We have been thinking about questions of who we are and what God is calling us to. In that context, we talked about the history of our yearly meeting affiliations, and on March 5 we had what some Friends call a threshing meeting, to talk about options in our response to the request of EFC -MAYM.

Then, at our Monthly Meeting for worship with a concern for business on March 8, we approved disaffiliating with EFC-MAYM: “since the option of dual affiliation with Great Plains Yearly Meeting and Mid-America Yearly Meeting has been withdrawn, we elected to retain our affiliation with Great Plains Yearly Meeting” (letter from Pam Chambers, UFM Ministry and Coun- sel clerk, April 19, 2020). Our Ministry and Counsel has subsequently met with David Williams and some of the EFC-MAYM elders because we wanted to explain how difficult this choice was for us. 6

In the process of our decision-making and the conversation with David Williams and the elders, it has become clear that the diversity we value is not shared by EFC-MAYM, to such a degree that, as one of the elders put it, we can no longer engage in ministry together.

The disaffiliation is set to be finalized at EFC-MAYM’s Ministry Conference on July 25, 2020.

We would appreciate your prayerful support as we continue to find our way forward.

Sincerely,

Doug Chambers, Presiding Clerk Catherine Griffith, Intentional Interim Minister

The decision to retain affiliation with Friends United Meeting and resign affiliation with EFC-MAYM was made at the local level of University Friends Church. The subject is presented at the Representative Session of Ministry Con- ference as a matter of communication of the decision that was already made by the local church. No action on the part of the yearly meeting is necessary to complete the separation. This will be the official minute made for reference at the request of University Friends Church, along with the letter Doug Chambers, Presiding Clerk at University Friends, sent to all the churches in EFC-MAYM.

Diana Hoover concluded by offering a prayer of blessing on University Friends Church.

EFC-MAYM Officers Presiding Clerk: Diana Hoover Assistant Presiding Clerk: David Crisp Reading/Recording Clerk: Lois Carr Assistant Reading/Recording Clerk: Jared Warner Treasurer: Linda Stratton, Janet Penna Statistical Secretary: Carol Williams News Correspondent: Carol Williams Archivist: Art Binford

Trustees Jeff Kinniburgh

EFC-NA Missions Commission: Thayne Thompson Ex Officio: David Williams

Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC): David Byrne

RP6 David Williams gave an overview of the structure of the yearly meeting leadership team configurations from 2014 through 2019, noting the continued emphasis on shifting from static positions to strategic partnerships. The configura- tion of staffing for 2020 will include no full-time positions, but instead will be comprised of eight part-time employees with no significant change in the budget. David Williams and Thayne Thompson will continue their roles as co- superintendents at ¾ time each. With Jenna Schmidt relocating to California at the end of July, Carol Williams will begin work in the office on a half-time basis. Tony Wheeler will be added to the staff on a quarter-time basis (10 hrs/ wk) as Director of Pastoral Counseling. He will be available to offer services as a professional counselor to pastors in the yearly meeting at no charge to them.

RP7 David Williams presented the names of the two recording candidates for this year: Shawn Penrose, pastor at Hutchinson Friends Church and Josiah Wil- liams, pastor at Derby Friends Church. These pastors have been approved by their local meetings and area as well as by the Board of Elders. The EFC- MAYM representatives approved the ministerial recording of Shawn Penrose and Josiah Williams which will take place during the closing community worship service on Sunday morning.

RP8 Thayne Thompson presented the request of Living Friends Church (a Nepali congregation) in Ft. Worth, Texas to advance to full church status within EFC- MAYM. This change in status has been approved by the Board of Elders. The EFC-MAYM representatives approved the transition of Living Friends Church into full church status effective immediately. Thayne Thompson showed a video he had recorded of his recent visit with the pastoral staff at Living Friends made in hopeful anticipation of this change in status.

RP9 Jeff Linville presented the budget summary for 2019, noting that the year was ended with a net gain. $15,000 of that gain went back into ministry with money forwarded to EFM and funds made available to the Home Mission Board’s 2020 budget. Remaining funds went into the Stewards Reserve fund. Jeff re- ported that as of June, the 2020 budget was on track to end the year in the black again. The proposed 2021 budget is basically the same as 2020. The representatives approved the 2021 budget.

Jeff Linville read a list of the names of churches who gave 10% or more of their general tithes and offerings to EFC-MAYM in the past year. Certificates of appreciation will be sent to those churches.

RP10 Presiding Clerk Diana Hoover answered a submitted question from the representatives concerning EFC-MAYM’s affiliation with Evangelical Friends Church-North America (EFC-NA). She noted that EFC-MAYM is one of the founding members of what has become EFC-NA. It is the overarching body of Evangelical Friends which includes six yearly meetings who have agreed to a common statement of faith and theological positions. Friends United Meeting (FUM) and EFC-NA have become more opposed to one another in statements of faith and there is not a way for one church to affirm the statement of faith for both organizations. That is what necessitated a decision of affiliation by University Friends Church.

RP11 J.C. James expressed thanks and appreciation to Diana Hoover for her work as presiding clerk.

RP12 Robyn Burns closed the meeting in prayer.

RP13 Lois Carr gave the closing minute. The Representative Body is adjourned to meet again on July 22-25, 2021 on the Friends University campus, Wichita, Kansas.

Evening Session Hosted from Northridge Friends Church Via Live Stream Saturday, July 25, 2020, 7:00 p.m.

Following musical worship, Thayne Thompson and David Williams welcomed online participants.

A video from Dan Cammack, Executive Director of Evangelical Friends Mis- sions (EFM) was presented. Dan gave a historic review of missions among Evangelical Friends and expressed the ongoing need for missionaries. EFM is looking ahead in hopes of adding 10 new missionary households in five new mission fields.

Conference speaker Dan Kimball continued his discussion of the value of hospitality in the church and how it can be received by those who do not trust the church. He gave a list of practical things to do to rebuild that trust:

• Be an example to the church of what it means to be on mission. • Provide training for people in the church. • Design your church ethos not based on other churches but on who you are. • As people build friendships, they will naturally ask questions. • Be careful of Christian unknown language. • Ask others to help you determine what to do. • If you are an older church, perhaps join with a younger one who needs a place to meet.

Dan introduced Evan, a young non-Christian friend, who has become involved in Dan’s local church in Santa Cruz. Evan told his story and then answered questions from those participating in this session online. Dan Kimball concluded his message with the question, “Who is your Evan?” David Williams closed the session with prayer for Dan Kimball.

Closing Session Community Worship Celebration Northridge Friends Church via Live Stream Sunday, July 26, 2020, 10:30 a.m.

The service opened with worship music by Northridge Friends Church musi- cians. Pastor Manny Garcia welcomed conference participants, both those physically present and those viewing online. Shawn Penrose gave the call to worship from Psalm 23:1 and led in prayer.

Thayne Thompson introduced Brad and Chelsea Carpenter, missionaries to Rwanda currently home on deputation, with their children Sarai, Gideon, and Ian. They related how they are doing both here in the United States amid a pandemic and the status of life on the mission field in Rwanda. They requested prayer for creativity in conducting their deputation work in a time of disease and for physical healing for themselves as they address medical problems. Thayne prayed for Brad, Chelsea, and family.

Thayne Thompson showed a video he made with the pastoral leadership of Living Friends Church in Ft. Worth, Texas, as they celebrate receiving full church status within EFC-MAYM which was approved at this year’s Ministry Conference.

David Williams recognized pastors Dallas and Reta Evans who have served in the ministry for at least 35 years in several pastorates. They were given a gift plaque of appreciation. David Williams prayed a prayer of blessing for them in this time of life transition.

Jenna Schmidt was recognized for her work on staff with EFC-MAYM. David Williams prayed for her and her husband Austin as they relocate to California.

The Penrose and Williams families came forward on stage for the ministerial recording of Shawn Penrose, pastor of Hutchinson Friends Church and Josiah Williams, pastor of Derby Friends Church. Thayne Thompson read from I Timothy 4:9-16 and I Peter 5:2-4. John Penrose prayed a blessing and commissioning for his son Shawn Penrose. Likewise, Carol Williams prayed a blessing and commissioning for her son Josiah Williams.

David Williams spoke on the conference theme of Christian hospitality, refer- ring to the scripture of Hebrews 13:2, “Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!” He reminded us to strive to see God in the stranger. He and the congregation joined in reading a section of the Dream Document adopted by the yearly meeting.

Josiah Williams closed the service in prayer.

LEADERSHIP TEAM REPORTS

Lead Superintendent David Williams

“Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!” - Hebrews 13:2, NLT

This has been quite a year, to say the least. Among the many traumatic events that have taken place in our world during the past twelve months, none have been more life-altering than the global pandemic known as COVID-19. It is a term that had never been part of our vocabulary until just a few, short months ago, but it is a new and ongoing reality that has had a profound and lasting impact on life as we know it. All of us have been forced to make continual adjustments to our regular rhythms of life and ministry, both personally and corporately, and that includes the way we do church.

On behalf of our entire yearly meeting leadership team, I want to express my deep gratitude for the tremendous response that we have witnessed across Mid America over the past several months as so many of our churches and church leaders have gone “above and beyond the call of duty” to make a wide variety of difficult yet necessary adjustments in order to serve their local congregations and wider communities as faithfully and effectively as possible. Thanks to the blessings of modern technology, many of our churches have actually expanded the reach of their ministries through the creative use of YouTube, Zoom, Facebook Live and other online resources.

I also want to give a big shout out to our yearly meeting staff (Thayne Thomp- son, Jenna Schmidt, Janet Penna, Jesse Penna, Randy Littlefield and Dave Kingrey), all of whom have sought to provide as much personal support and organizational stability as possible during this period of unprecedented upheaval and uncertainty. The nature of our work normally requires us to travel a great deal in order to communicate our support as tangibly as possible, but that option has not been available to us in recent days, of course. So, like everyone else, we have been learning new lessons about how to best connect with the people we have been called to love and serve from a distance.

Like many of you, we have gained much more experience with conducting online meetings than we had ever dreamed. But this has served us well in our efforts to stay in touch with our local church leaders. Video conferences have been part of our toolbox for quite some time now, but they quickly became our primary lifeline in terms of conducting church business, and I am sure that this is a tool that will only become more useful in the days ahead. On the other hand, we have also gained a renewed appreciation for older forms of technology as well, like the telephone. During the peak of the COVID-19 shutdown, our staff made an intentional effort to call each of our Mid America pastors,

just to check in with them, pray with them, and let them know that we are here to help in any way we can. In addition to personal contacts via phone, text, email or video conference, there are many other ways that we seek to provide a high level of personal and professional support for our pastors and church leaders:

• Pastor to Pastor Update – a weekly email update, distributed to nearly 200 current and retired pastors, that includes an inspirational note from the lead superintendent along with recommended resources and the latest news from our extended family of Friends here in Mid America. • Area Leadership Retreats – a series of area gatherings, presented this year in cooperation with Wheeler Ministries, which was attended by more than 100 pastors, clerks, elders and overseers and focused on the personal health and vitality of our local church leaders. • Ministry Leader Prayer Directory – an annual publication sent to each of our pastors and churches that includes the names of each of our current and retired pastors, missionaries and board chairs, in an effort to facilitate ongoing intercessory prayer support for those on the front lines of ministry. • Pastor Appreciation Month – an annual season, typically observed during the month of October, to offer special recognition for the many personal and sacrificial ways that our pastors and their families love and serve their local congregations. • Pastor’s Sabbath Retreat – an annual opportunity for pastors and their families to experience an extended period of rest, recovery and renewal in the midst of a supportive peer group (unfortunately, this year’s retreat was can- celed due to the onset of COVID-19). • Pastor’s Sabbatical Support – a set of resources and recommendations that are designed to assist pastors and their congregations in the planning and implementation of pastoral sabbaticals. • Pastor’s Medical Reimbursement Fund – a designated fund that has been set aside to provide supplemental financial assistance for pastors and their families who may incur unexpected and/or uncovered health care costs, including intensive, short-term mental health services. • Leach Graduate Scholarship – an endowed fund established by the family of former EFC-MAYM pastor David Leach which provides financial assistance for current and prospective pastors, missionaries and other church leaders who are pursuing additional education. • Recording Apprenticeship – a process that has been established to provide ongoing support and supervision for those pastors who have been recommended for recording by their local congregations. • Minister’s Benefit Association – a special fund supported by voluntary contributions from current EFC-MAYM pastors that provides a supplemental death benefit to help cover funeral expenses for our fellow colleagues upon entry into their eternal reward.

At the heart of it all is a deep desire to make sure that each of our pastors and churches know that they are “truly loved,” which is one of the core values that is stated in We Have a Dream, our EFC-MAYM vision statement. Above all, we want to do whatever we can to cultivate the capacity to build healthy, life-

giving relationships among our spiritual leaders, their families, their churches and the communities they have been called to love and serve in Jesus’ name. It seems only fitting, then, that the theme for this year’s Ministry Conference, the 149th yearly meeting of the people called Friends here in Mid America, will be Entertaining Angels: Walking in the Way of Hospitality. This emphasis on pursuing the way of hospitality is part three of our ongoing discussion of how God’s people are called to follow him faithfully as He makes a way in the wilderness (cf. Nu 2). Just as we emphasized the ongoing, personal practice of prayer and worship during our last two conferences, this year we are emphasiz- ing the ongoing, personal practice of hospitality. “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers,” the Scriptures remind us, “for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it” (Heb 13:2).

This call to practice hospitality is at the very heart of the gospel. Jesus was constantly inviting people to “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Ps 34:8), often by enjoying a meal with them, the ultimate expression of friendship and acceptance in the first century Mediterranean world. Jesus ate and drank frequently with his close friends and family, of course, but he also made a special effort to extend his hand of fellowship to those who were considered by many members of his community to be unclean or unworthy in the eyes of God. Over time, this earned him a less than stellar reputation among the religious leaders of his day. “Here is a glutton and a drunkard,” they would mumble, “a friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Lk 7:34).

What was intended to serve as a term of derision, however, eventually became a distinguishing mark of the entire Christian movement. From the very first moment of her birth on the Day of Pentecost, the Church of Jesus Christ has continued to proclaim the good news that God desires more than anything to pour out his Spirit upon “all people,” regardless of race, ethnicity, geography, education or socio-economic status, so that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Ac 2:17, 21).

Sadly, we live in a day and time when a growing chasm has surfaced between the original message of the gospel, as presented by Jesus and the early church, and a cultural packaging of the gospel in recent days that has been increasingly miscommunicated and/or misunderstood. To borrow from my fellow pastor and professor of missiology, Dan Kimball, it has become painfully clear that more and more of our friends, family, neighbors and co-workers like Jesus but not the church. This raises a number of critical questions: How did we get here? What are the specific barriers that are currently in place? How can we rebuild safe and reliable bridges to the gospel in the coming days?

It is questions like these that will provide the central focus for our discussions at this year’s Ministry Conference. With the help of our guest speaker, Dan Kimball, and through warm and prayerful conversations with one another, we will seek to discern the good, pleasing and perfect will of God for EFC- MAYM in the coming days, especially as it relates to our collective ministry of hospitality. As we prepare to gather online as an extended family of Friends from across Mid America at the end of July, I want to encourage each and every one of you to make every effort to be a part of this year’s Ministry Confer- ence. None of our previous gatherings have ever been more affordable or ac-

cessible, and I am convinced that none of them have ever been more weighty or significant. While each of the synoptic gospels provide a unique perspective on the life and ministry of Jesus, they all agree on at least one thing: Jesus’ final words to his disciples immediately before his ascension incorporated a clear command to “go” and bear faithful witness to the message of the gospel to all people at all times and in all places (cf. Mt 28:16-20; Mk 16:14-20; Lk 24:36-53). In other words, every faithful friend of Jesus is also called to be a faithful friend of sinners by cultivating warm, safe and hospitable spaces where our family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and complete strangers, both near and far, are invited to make themselves at home, not just with us, but with the Holy Family of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In our efforts to follow in the footsteps of Christ and our early Christian forebearers, we would do well to remember that our Father’s house is not only intended to be a “house of prayer” (cf. Lk 19:36), but a “house of hospitality” as well (cf. Mt 9:10-11; Lk 19:5; Ac 28:7; Rm 12:13; Rm 16:23; 1 Tim 5:10; 1 Pet 4:9; 3 Jn 1:8; Rev 3:20). In fact, this is at the very heart of the clear and compelling vision that the Lord has entrusted to us as Mid America Friends:

We have a dream that we as a family of churches would become known as Friends of sinners, where our churches would become places of forgiveness rather than judgment. What if we shared openly of our own weaknesses and stories of brokenness, and how God’s love and grace is so much greater! What if our neighbors were our friends and not our projects? What if the Word became flesh where we live, and also in the places where our unbelieving neighbors hang out? What if our co-workers and classmates knew that we loved them as they are rather than as they “should be,” but what if they also joined us side by side in this dream and pursuit of Heaven? (“We Have a Dream,” July 2014)

May it be so, O Lord. May it be so.

Executive Superintendent Thayne Thompson

This is my first Ministry Conference as Executive Superintendent, and how different it is. The past year has been full of change, to say the least. Back in August of 2019, David Williams and I began sharing the role of superintendent for EFC-MAYM. Focusing on our areas of strength and giftedness we have felt our way into a “new normal” by fulfilling the responsibilities of this position in tandem.

For the first few months, we continued to adjust to our new roles with David focusing on the formational side of our ministry together while I focused on the missional side. David’s primary responsibilities revolved around caring for pastors and their families, while working with churches during times of transition. My primary responsibilities involved working with our two primary missional partners, our Home Mission Board and EFM, in addition to serving

alongside our Stewards and Trustees as they fulfilled their responsibilities to EFC-MAYM.

Two of the highlights of the past year were (1) becoming more closely connected with our church plants through participation in the online Journey training and (2) our four leadership retreats in Haviland, Tulsa, Houston and Man- hattan. Through participating in the Journey training, sponsored by our Home Missions Board, I had the opportunity to spend time personally with our Ne- pali church plant in Ft. Worth, Texas (Living Friends Church). Through my time with them I was able to meet several members of their leadership team as well as join them for a Sunday morning worship service and participate in the dedication of their pastor’s new home (D.B. Tamang). It was a joy to experience the life and hope they demonstrate as they worship together. During Min- istry Conference this year we will have the opportunity to celebrate with them, as they have reached “full church status” in EFC-MAYM. What an exciting example of our vision of ethnic diversity being realized in our yearly meeting.

The other exciting part of my role as Executive Superintendent was to serve alongside David Williams and Tony Wheeler as we conducted four leadership retreats across mid-America. The response was overwhelmingly positive. It was a blessing to serve alongside these two men whom I deeply love and respect. Fortunately, our last leadership retreat in Manhattan, KS, occurred one week before the State of Kansas began to shut down due to COVID-19. The focus of these retreats was on experiencing newfound freedom in Christ by dealing with personal issues that stand in the way of us becoming who God designed us to be.

Now we are in the process of undergoing another change due to COVID-19, and yet another “new normal”. As we gather for Ministry Conference, virtual- ly, this summer none of us knows what the next months, or years, will hold. This “new normal” has already affected how we do life on a day-to-day basis and will likely affect us for the foreseeable future. What life will be like when we gather onsite for Ministry Conference 2021 is yet to be seen. But what we do know is that our vision and dream for the future remains just as relevant as it ever has been. We are still called to love God with our whole heart and love people around us just as much as ever. We are still called to fulfill the Great Commandment in the spirit of the Great Commission. Personal relationships is still the key. And the opportunities to build those relationships in our communities seem greater than ever with people staying closer to home and longing for companionship.

As we move into the latter part of 2020, I sense a personal call to be more intentional in establishing those relationships locally and globally so that the mission of Jesus can be fulfilled through me in whatever way He desires. My dream for EFC-MAYM is that rather than focusing inward during this time of change, we would focus outward and allow God to use us, with increased passion, to reach our communities and our world with the good news of the gospel. May God use you and me to fulfill His purposes in our time.

Director of Student Ministries Jesse Penna

LOOKING BACK: I have just completed my 8th year working for EFC- MAYM as the Director of Student Ministries and my 4th academic year as the Youth Ministry Chair at Barclay College. What a journey it has been! This report is difficult to write for many reasons, mainly because so much of our recent time has been full of cancellations, turmoil and uncertainty. However, I do believe this time has reinforced in me a love for students, and for those who serve them in EFC-MAYM, as the separation during this time has deepened a call to serve God and one another in the adventure we call Student Ministry!

Jenna Schmidt – As I type this report, Jenna is winding down her time with us in EFC-MAYM particularly related to student ministries, but also this past year as our Director of Support Ministries. She has been a “student ministry saver” in so many ways investing her time and energy so well on behalf of our students and churches in EFC-MAYM. She will be sorely missed as a co-laborer here in EFC-MAYM but we pray the best for her and Austin as they transition to California shortly after our Annual Sessions. Many thanks and blessings to her for her work these past 3 plus years.

Youth Pastor’s Round Table – 24 representatives gathered in South Texas for Round Table from Friday, November 8th – Monday, November 11th, 2019. The following representatives gathered: Josiah and Courtney Brown from Friendswood Friends, Jacob and Abby Pribble and Dallas and Cheyenne Potter from Chandler Friends, Gabe Hancock from Rose Hill Friends, Michael Scott from Haviland Friends, Aubrey VandenHoek from Derby Friends, Brockie Follette from Kaleo Academy/Barclay College, Cory and Brittany Burditt from Northshore Friends, Parker Titus from Northridge Friends, Jenna and Austin Schmidt from EFC-MAYM, Chase and Kristina Davenport and Kevin and Crystal Campbell from Friends Community, Gene and Linda Stratton our EFC- MAYM quiz directors, and Jesse and Abby Penna from EFC-MAYM, all com- prise what we have started to call the Student Ministries Division. Anyone who serves in student ministry as the primary point person for the church, makes up this division. Round Table serves as our annual meeting together. One of our primary agenda items was to discern the future of Regeneration. We decided to continue to plan and work together for this gathering, but to continue to think strategically about lowering the cost and getting more adults involved.

Forum for Theological Education and Winter Sneak – I attended an event with Kaleo Academy on January 29 and 30 sponsored by the Lilly Foundation in Indianapolis, Indiana. Several positive things came from this time, including an ever-deepening partnership with Kaleo Academy. After that event, I, along with a group from Barclay College, attended Winter Sneak at Quaker Haven Camp in Indiana. This was my first time to be at that camp, and it was a good learning experience to see another Friends Camp.

Bible Quiz, Camp, Kaleo, Saltshaker – these were all cancelled due to re-

strictions related to COVID-19. We were able to have 3 quiz tournaments (Haviland, Chandler and Argonia) but had to cancel the last two quizzes, including the finals, so no awards were given this year. Tentatively we are making plans to send a team to Bangladesh and Sinaloa for Saltshaker 2021. Since there is nothing to report on these events, I will conclude this report with an abridged version of my Spring Invasion reflection. The complete report is posted on our EFC-MAYM blog.

Spring Invasion 2020: • First time in a long time that Ralph Corbet was not able to make the trip to Coahulia to serve as project director due to some health complications and surgery on his eye. • First time for me to serve as director in an official capacity by myself. • First time to have my family with me. • First time that we have ever cancelled a week’s worth of Spring Invasion due to a pandemic.

One thing that happened in January, that I would like to make note of here as a key piece to my reflection, was an important meeting between Coahulia pastors, and EFC-MAYM leaders, Pastors and Youth workers to determine the future of Spring Invasion: Present: Sergio Ayala pastor of Nueva Rosita Friends Church, Rogelio Arevalo pastor of Palau Friends Church, Zulema and Chuey Vazquez pastor of Nacimiento Friends Church along with a church member, Pablo and Rosie Coronado pastor of Refugio De Dios Church, David Frazier pastor of Miami Friends Church, Josiah Brown youth pastor of Friendswood Friends Church, Gabe Hancock associate pastor of Rose Hill Friends Church, Jesse Penna EFC-MAYM Student Ministries Director, Matt Macy associate director of EFM and longtime director for Spring Invasion, Samuel Vasquez pastor of Agujita Friends Church and Primary host and director for Coahuila Friends Churches, and Ralph Corbet long time Project director for Spring Invasion.

During this meeting that took place on January 16, 2020 at Nueva Rosita Friends Church, it was determined that the number one priority for Spring In- vasion is relationships, not projects. We will do some projects in the future, but not to the detriment of relationships, looking for intentional ways to plan mar- gin into our schedule, and to look for ways to spontaneously serve those we encounter in the community alongside the Friends church in Coahuila. There was a sense that Coahuila Friends Church has become our family and we don’t feel any call or leaning towards not continuing to visit and serve and love our family while looking for ways to serve those not yet a part of the family of God.

Now back to the reflection on our time there in March: In light of the decisions and discussions that we had in January, it is interesting to me to see what happened this March. Primarily, few projects were completed by the teams and groups from the U.S. (except Friendswood and Argonia during week one – you can see their reports on our blog). All other groups were cancelled and did not make it to Coahuila in March 2020.

Several personal highlights/praises from Spring Invasion 2020: • We were able to provide some project money for spring invasion, to be done almost 100% by Coahuila Friends Church • Given that so many projects were already started, and material purchased, the church members in Coahuila jumped right in with work on projects once we left. • Most notably, there was a big project at Refugio de dios in Nueva Rosita that was ready for a big concrete pour for Miami Friends when they arrived. Since Miami Friends did not come, a group from Nueva Rosita Friends Church went on Monday of our week two spring invasion and did a full day’s work to complete the concrete pour. This ultimately is better relation- ally for that community to work together in that way! • There were several steps that led to the decision to cancel week two that were clear steps from God. The timing of it all saved groups from loading up and driving all the way down just to turn around and return home. Alt- hough we are still saddened that week two was cancelled, we are rejoicing in the way God led us to make the decision • Jennifer and Andrew Monaghan and family came down a bit earlier than the rest of week two. We were able to contact them right before they crossed into Mexico, which ultimately saved them from a recommended 14-day quarantine. • Jenna Schmidt was able to serve week one with Argonia and Friendswood as an EFC-MAYM staff person on site to host, since I was not able to miss anymore class at Barclay. The timing and logistics of all of this played out nicely in several regards. Special thanks to Jenna for doing so much work ahead of time, and for being onsite week one as our EFCMAYM host. • Gene Stratton served as our delivery man and additional site host for week one to help as an added adult sponsor for Friendswood and Argonia. Gene stayed with my family and I until we wrapped up and cleaned up before heading home together. Gene had planned to be there both weeks as an adult with Northridge Friends during week two, and so it worked out to send him with lots of supplies and additional adult help for week one. He and I ended up being the only Americans at the celebration service on Thursday night since Friendswood and Argonia decided to leave a day early. • Bethel Friends releasing a church vehicle for me to use, and Northridge Friends releasing a van and trailer for Gene to use. • While Miami Friends, Rose Hill Friends, Haviland Friends, Bethel Friends and Northridge Friends made preparations and plans to go Week two and weren’t able to in the end, who knows what God did in and through them as they stayed home.

While I don’t fully know what to anticipate for the rest of 2020 and as we lean into 2021 related to student ministries, I am confident that God will continue to lead and guide us on the journey. Praise be and Party on!

Director of Support Ministries Jenna Schmidt

I have finished my 3rd year here with the Yearly Meeting and have so enjoyed my time working for the Friends Movement here in Mid-America. When I was learning about Quakers in college, I would have never dreamed of getting to work at this level of the organization of Friends. This past year especially has been such a clarifying year for me in my walk with our friend Jesus. I am more and more aware that the Christians called Quakers have such a unique and needed lens to bring to this world. On a personal note this past year has been one full of love as I married my very best friend this past October. It was a beautiful fall day surrounded by the Trinity and our closest friends and family. Our first 9 months of marriage have been filled with a lot of laughter and learning and we have really enjoyed the extra time together that quarantine has allotted us.

This year of ministry has been a strange one. I’m sure we are all reeling a bit from these past months of life as we navigate uncharted territory in most parts of our lives. The majority of the work I get to do for EFCMAYM is planning events and supporting anyone on the leadership team or in our churches in that endeavor. That has looked quite different starting in January. For the first time in my years with Friends, we did not have an event over the New Year’s week- end, Bible Quiz season was cut short with no final, as well as Spring Invasion being cut a week short, Pastor’s Sabbath was cancelled, Summer Camp was cancelled, Salt Shaker was postponed, and we are just now getting into a some- what normal rhythm. However normal it may feel, it is not normal at all. Plan- ning has become such a game of cat and mouse. Planning something without spending money until you know for sure the event will take place as to not waste any resources is a very odd way to plan. I am so glad we have been able to move to an online format for Ministry Conference but do lament not being able to meet in person as I think the fellowship that takes place at Ministry Conference each summer is important and meaningful to a lot of us.

I was able to accompany Friendswood Friends Church and Argonia Friends Church to Mexico for the first week of Spring Invasion this March. Our week looked quite a bit different than previous trips as this year was much of a “transition year” into a more relational model for our time with our Friends in Mexico. Moving away from building and work project allowed us time to sit with the people, play hard with the children, and live life with our friends. I do believe this move is one of many benefits. Our students are learning what a life of ministry looks like, how to have conversations with people, how to accept hospitality, and how to simply be with people. A sweet moment from this week was watching Pastor Samuel jump rope and laugh with the children from his church and the students we brought. It was a beautiful moment that we might have missed if we were too busy doing work. Knowing this would be my last Spring Invasion for a while, I was really happy to get to spend it with Josiah Brown, one of my best friends from college. Getting to watch him be a youth pastor has been one of my favorite parts of this job and I am deeply glad

to have spent my last Spring Invasion with his youth group. This brings me to the acknowledgement that these are my last weeks with EFC- MAYM and Ministry Conference will be my last days working here. Austin and I are moving to Azusa, CA for him to finish his Master of Divinity there. While I am excited for a new adventure, I am really sad to be leaving Wichita and the Yearly Meeting. I want to thank Dave Williams for hiring me straight out of college. This job is exactly what I wanted to do. I have learned so much about ministry and about serving the local church through my time here. I also want to thank Jesse Penna for letting me come along side of you as you do ministry. I have learned a lot from watching you interact with people and I will miss getting to serve our pastors with you. Thank you for advocating for me to get this job. Lastly, I want to thank all of our youth pastors for allowing me to serve you and your students these last year. It has been a deep joy to know and do life with each of you. I love you and your students. Please know your ministry is changing the world

Church Leadership Institute for Ministry David Kingrey

I am humbled and grateful to report to you the faithful Kingdom work of all the members of the Church Leadership Institute for Ministry, which you have given me the privilege to direct. The Church Leadership Institute for Ministry has experienced a year of significant growth and expansion, which has been true each year of our existence. We have added several participants from Evangeli- cal Friends Church - Mid America Yearly Meeting (EFC-MAYM), churches in Evangelical Friends Church - North America (EFC-NA), Friends churches in other nations, and other Christian denominations internationally. We have at least fourteen different nationalities and cultures that participate in the monthly classes.

In January we completed the fifth three-year cycle of the Institute’s curriculum (fifteen years) and graduated forty-two students. We awarded them with a certificate, signed by David Williams, Lead Superintendent of EFC-MAYM, Adri- an Halverstadt, Director of EFC-NA, Royce Frazier, President of Barclay Col- lege, and I signed as Director of the Leadership Institute. I sent a printed certificate to all graduates in the United States, and an electronic certificate to all the international graduates. I quickly learned (and in the case of one graduate, within a matter of minutes) that my initial list of graduates was not complete, because his friends received a certificate and he did not. He informed me that he listens to every video recording that Drew Davenports uploads to YouTube and then downloads it on his computer to use in the future. There are probably many more persons, who are benefitting from the Institute, and I have no knowledge of their participation.

Another graduate, living in a remote section of Nigeria, accesses on his phone the PDF slides that I send to the students, because he has no computer. Howev- er, his storage capacity is limited, and he has no printer. So, his request that came to me by e-mail was, “I want to make a request which is urgent. I wish to

train many of my people in their ministerial work. Can you send me a paper copy of all the slides of the past three years? I have to translate and interpret in the Yoruba language,” and he explained it is easier to do so from a paper copy. Needless to say, I fulfilled his request. Heart-warming to me is the fact that all the graduates are re-enrolled in the Institute, plus several who have joined since last year’s Ministry Conference. Another interesting fact that I learned is that a few of the certificate recipients use their certificate as a legal document to authorize them to perform nationally regulated ministerial duties, so I had to revise their certificates using their legal names. A positive testimony about the teaching in the Institute comes from Jerry Louthan, a member of the Light- house Fellowship Church. “I appreciate Adrian Halverstadt’s touching on some of my favorite concepts of leadership and how we are to improve our various gifts in the body of Christ . . . I like what Adrian stressed about worship. I believe it is the response we exhibit in response to God’s love and grace and mer- cy.”

This has been a year of special prayer in our Institute in our commitment “to equip the whole church to take the whole gospel to the whole world in Jesus’ name.” Because of the Coronavirus global pandemic, we have prayed faithfully for EFC-MAYM, for one another in the Institute, our families, and our churches, and for all of God’s people in the world, asking for God’s protective presence for each one, for Christ’s healing presence among those with illnesses, and for the Holy Spirit’s comfort for the friends and families of those who have lost loved ones. We have followed the counsel of James 5:16, “Pray for one another,” and we believe fully in the truth of Jesus who promise in Luke 11:10, “For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”

I give thanks to you for giving me the privilege of directing the Church Leader- ship Institute for Ministry. May God receive the glory for the steadfast King- dom work of everyone in the Institute.

Director of Multiplication Ministries Randy Littlefield

Evangelical Friends Church Mid-America leadership and our Home Mission Team are united in our commitment to multiplying leaders and churches. Over the last year, our Holy Spirit continues actively at work in many places and we are motivated to come alongside in every way possible, equipping and encouraging local leaders. Your Home Missions Team supports these leaders and their vital task of discipling others along their individual spiritual journey and helping everyone to take part in the Great Commission. Home Missions has worked with ten new church planting projects to advance multiplication during 2019-2020, and most of them have progressed along their journeys toward maturity. We do praise Jesus for the competent and faithful leaders and their spouses that God has given us to lead these new churches.

We are excited this year to see Living Friends Church of Ft. Worth TX move from Extension to Full-Church status. Living Friends was planted in 2016 soon after Pastor DB Tamang and family immigrated from Nepal to Ft Worth TX. We will celebrate God’s provision for Living Friends Church during the Home Missions report before the representatives this year. Nine other new church projects are guided by Partner Church Advisory Teams comprised of leaders from churches across our Yearly Meeting and have progressed toward maturity. These nine projects include Oasis Church in Dodge City KS with Pastors Jay and Gloria Morford; Iglesia Amigos San Antonio TX with Pastors Runy and Mimi Moscoso; Iglesia Amigos Oklahoma City with Pastors Isai and Sucely Ramos; St. Paul Friends Church with Pastors Kumar and Sabita Ta- mang; Friends of Lawrence KS with Pastors Jeremiah and Wendy Williams; African Friends Church of Abilene TX with Pastors Ekwenya and Veronika Mitaci; Friends of Topeka KS with Pastors Jesse and Savannah Waller; and a new Amigos Spanish-speaking church in Spring TX planted this year by Pastor Arnoldo and Delmy Garcia. Our project in Omaha NE with All Nations Friends Church is currently suspended during a time when Pastor Lazarus John labors with new churches in his home country of South Sudan Africa. Home Missions leaders are also currently building relationship with two potential new congregations that are being considered for possible affiliation with EFC- MAYM.

Right here I want to bring you a message from the Newest Generation. They want you to know every generation, every nationality, and every community needs a church filled with people fulfilling Jesus’ mission. Certainly, investing in future generations takes perspective. While some focus on the short term, the new generation knows that together we must see long-term opportunities for starting churches. The priority? People and churches must be investing in future generations to build God’s kingdom. Revolving funds help launch new churches. Through your generosity, in giving to the revolving fund, EFC- MAYM can invest in the future. As new churches become mature plants, they return revolving funds. We are Evangelical Friends Churches in Mid-America and we are better together! One generation supports the next. There has never been a better time.

Our God continues to open new doors where we may join Him in making and multiplying disciples. Your prayers are so vital. We make every effort to main- tain and build our various support systems that are so critical to effective new church development. I have also served with apostolic leaders from across Quakerdom to plan for the Fourth National Multiplication Conference (it will be an International Conference in Nov. 2020), with Dr. Ed Stetzer, a nationally recognized leader in church multiplication, as special teacher and trainer. Nu- merous regional locations from around the world will join over the internet and locally from the campus of Barclay College in Haviland KS, and perhaps two other locations in EFC-MAYM. It is scheduled for this coming November 11- 13, 2020. Please know that there are many opportunities for you to serve with Home Missions across EFC-MAYM! Don’t hesitate to inquire how you can get involved. Thank you for your prayers.

BOARD AND MINISTRY TEAM REPORTS

ELDERS BOARD Diana Hoover, Clerk

I continue to be honored and privileged to serve EFC-MAYM as your presiding clerk. Nowhere in my imagination did I expect to serve in this capacity when I agreed to be on the Elders Board several years ago. Just in case Lois Kendall was absent and needed backup, I was named assistant recording clerk. Who knew, a few years later, Lois would need to step down and I would need to step up? As Dave Williams told me, always be ready to Pray, Preach and Preside because we never know when we will be called upon to serve.

It has been an unusual year, to say the least! The stay at home orders are still in effect at my house, as we work from home and order groceries online, even though most everybody else is back to normal. The ongoing unrest all over the nation concerning race inequality continues to be a matter of prayer for me and I am sure for all of y’all. Only God knows the way through this crisis, and we all know the ultimate ending. Until that time of the Earth being perfected and true, lasting peace, may we join together as Friends in our everlasting command to PRAY FOR PEACE. Though we all want to do so much more, this is the least thing that we can do, but it is the most important.

The Elders Board welcomed David Bailey to represent Northeast Area when Katharyne Swann resigned, and I now represent Western Area, replacing Trish Edwards-Konic when she resigned. Changes to the board are expected but it takes a while to get to know one another and learn to work together. I believe that we have a great board in place that has a heart for prayer, worship and seeking God’s will for our yearly meeting. It is a pleasure to serve together. We have a Zoom conference call most every month and a couple in person meetings each year.

Our year of trying the new leadership structure of David Williams as lead superintendent and Thayne Thompson as executive superintendent seems to be working out well. The Elders Board evaluated this leadership trial at mid-year and determined to continue. This arrangement allows both Dave and Thayne to work within their ministry gifts and be most effective.

The Elders have had a few major issues on our plate this past year. We had to make the difficult decision to host the entire annual Ministry Conference ONLINE, instead of at Friends University. This may be the first time that the yearly meeting event has not taken place face to face, either in Haviland or Wichita. We pray that everyone will appreciate the reason that this is happening is for the health and safety of all our members. Please know that it was not an easy decision and we truly agonized over having to make this call. We believe that with much prayer and commitment, we can have a great conference online.

We are also re-reading and updating some of the language of Faith and Prac- tice. Manny Garcia is heading up this project, under the oversight of the Elders Board. It is a lengthy task and we are certainly not rushing through the process, committing it to prayer and revelation.

For many years now, University Friends Church has had the unique distinction among North American Friends of maintaining a dual affiliation with Evangel- ical Friends Church-Mid America Yearly Meeting (a member of Evangelical Friends Church-North America) and with Great Plains Yearly Meeting (a member of Friends United Meeting). Under the umbrella of EFC-NA, our most recent guidelines do not allow for dual affiliation. This change was made to the EFC-NA constitution due in great part to the shifting views among some Friends regarding the biblical basis of Christian marriage and sexuality. In Feb- ruary, we asked University Friends to discern whether they would be better aligned with the Faith and Practice and core values of EFC-MAYM or GPYM. At their March business meeting, University Friends elected to retain their affiliation with GPYM and discontinue their affiliation with EFC-MAYM. On Wednesday, June 3, 2020, Dave Williams, Manny Garcia and Diana Hoover (all representing the Mid America elders board) met with the intentional interim pastor, Catherine Griffith, and members of the University Friends Ministry and Counsel to discuss the implications of this decision. This has been a very difficult process, as University Friends has been a vital part of EFC-MAYM for many years. Their presence and partnership will be greatly missed. We will be taking time during our representative session at this year's Ministry Confer- ence to recognize the congregation's change of status with Mid America, and to ask the Lord's blessing upon them as they seek God's best in the days ahead.

In all the hardship of being confined to our homes these past several months, it has also been a time for me to have more quiet time. I have had more time in scripture, more time to look around, enjoy nature and realize that these practices are essential to my good health, both spiritually and physically. I pray that when I return to “normal” I will continue to make time for these daily practices in order to not ever go back to the old way of life on the run without time to stop to think and pray.

May God bless and keep you. May He shine His face upon you.

HOME MISSION BOARD Randy Littlefield, Chairperson

Throughout Scripture, the most basic words of our faith-hope, promise, heaven, eternity-connect us to our future. Scripture is filled with verses that urge us to look forward. We anticipate what lies ahead and look to identify our role in God’s mission to redeem the world-essentially Jesus’ big dream of a movement spelled out for us in Acts 1:8. If we are to see a change in the scorecard of success in the U.S. church, we must first see a paradigm shift in our thinking, a shift that overflows and infects others. Big dreams prompt change. Big Dreams change our questions. Big Dreams change our prayers. Big Dreams change the

people around us. Big Dreams change our churches. Big Dreams change us. The future of the movement of Friends lies outstretched before us! Your Home Missions team is currently envisioning how we can better come alongside the local churches of Mid America.

I find it difficult to address the subject of multiplication without at least touching on some very fundamental concepts of math. When it comes to church growth and church multiplication, words like “growth,” “subtraction,” “plateau,” “addition,” “reproduction,” and “multiplication” are unavoidable. As leaders, we tend to adopt our own definitions based on our unique context for church. Our temptation might be to look at our success and incorrectly conclude that we’re being obedient to Jesus’ commands and multiplying, or to look at our church size and mistakenly conclude that we can’t be a reproducing or multiplying church if we’re small.

Let’s start with a very simple and basic review of some mathematical concepts—just enough basics to equip you for the journey to becoming a multipli- er. Rather than making up our own definitions, I prefer to embrace the terms that have been handed down to us through mathematics. These are not “secular or business” concepts but rather the principles that emerge from God’s crea- tion. Subtraction occurs whenever the output result decreases with time. With every positive unit of effort, subtraction occurs with a loss or decrease in the output number. We all know the pain of seasons of subtraction. On the personal front, it might be losing loved ones. In ministry, losing team members is agonizing. Subtraction compels us to action. But subtraction is a normal part of life, including the life of a church. As we think about the first 500 churches founded in the first century after Jesus, all of these churches ultimately experienced subtraction all the way to their death. But the church is still around and vibrant today, but not because of the growth of churches, but because of the sending nature of churches.

Growth is the process of increasing in size. Growth can happen through addition, reproduction, or multiplication. Regardless of the strategy, model, or culture we embrace and pursue, growth is a primary goal. But real multipliers must throw off the shackles of an addition-growth scorecard, opting instead for the pursuit of multiplication growth. In all the turmoil of subtraction, we des- perately pursue and seek out addition growth. But even addition is temporary.

C.S. Lewis once stated, “You get to decide what legacy you will leave.” Don’t let the reality of subtraction discourage you but do let it mess with your thinking. Addition-focused scorecards and cultures constrain us to less abundant thinking that moves from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4, and so on. By embracing accumula- tion cultures, we miss the abundance Jesus intends for us through multiplication. The best multipliers are leaders who surrender their personal addition- based scorecards to a far better scorecard using Jesus’ math. Multiplication carries the legacy of your church to future generations, far beyond the accumu- lation you achieve in your local context. That’s why sending out leaders to multiply and start new churches, and then continuing the movement into the future is so vitally important. Your sending capacity is your best asset, and your sending results could ultimately be your primary legacy.

We leaders here in EFC-MAYM believe our best days are ahead and not something we just dream about from time to time. The process of multiplication must be reflected in the local church. It is extremely difficult to multiply new ministries and ultimately new churches unless our congregations are multiplying new leaders and new groups at the local church level. We in Mid-America believe we must be about this sending of new leaders and ultimately new churches. Home missions team members are those regional leaders that have been designated by leaders from your seven Areas across Mid-America. And though our Friends congregations extend from south Texas in the Houston area all the way and including our newest churches in St. Paul Minnesota, Abilene TX, and Topeka KS we do see signs of new life all around. So there are really great opportunities to expand the Kingdom of God. New opportunities require new vision and new leaders. Throughout the last two millenia of church history, the Kingdom has advanced as new leaders and visionaries stepped into new territories and attempted new methods in obedience to our Lord Jesus’ command to go and make new disciples.

Our dream and our hope is that those apostolic workers from each congregation will join in the new opportunity to catch and share a new vision for sending new leaders on this exciting apostolic journey. May we be faithful. Please connect with these area multiplication leaders whom you have asked to serve your Areas: Texas Area – Loren Green or David Byrne; COK Area – Nick Shaffer and Brad Wood; Western Area – Caty Zortman or Dennis McDowell; North Central Area – Graham Taylor; Northeast Area – Scott Rose or Walt Mills; TriState Area – Josh LeeMasters; Central KS Area – Geoff Robinson or Carrie Corliss. These leaders and our new church planters already serving in various communities across Mid-America are our heroes, and God is calling numerous others of you to join their ranks in Jesus’ mission to build His Church to the glory of our Father in heaven. God is at work through His Holy Spirit! Thank you for your prayers!

MISSION MOBILIZER TEAM Mike Neifert, Chairperson

The Ministry Mobilizer Team (MMT) has been working hard this past year to support the work of Evangelical Friends Mission (EFM) in its work. With the recent decisions of our sister Evangelical Friends Yearly Meetings to bring their missions work under the umbrella of EFM, comes an opportunity for EFC -MAYM and the MMT to lead the way in a new-and-improved support system for the many fields EFM oversees. Field Support Teams (FST) will soon be formed to provide personalized care for workers on each of EFM's fields. EFC- MAYM has been invited to be one of the first Yearly Meetings to invite participation in FSTs for two fields with workers sent from congregations in Mid America. The MMT is encouraging those who have close connections to Rwanda and Bangladesh and the workers there to prayerfully consider taking a more active role by applying to be part of the FST for these two fields. Several members of the MMT have already volunteered and are in the application process. We urge others to investigate how they might join this new venture by

contacting EFM. Spirit-filled and discerning leaders in the areas of team facili- tation, coaching, care and prayer assistance, communications and deputation assistance, and fundraising assistance are needed for each field.

The Blessing Fund established a number of years ago to help with the educational needs of EFM workers continues to serve many. Three women involved in the work of EFM in Nepal, Ireland, and Rwanda have received funds for education which better prepared them for further service. The ups and downs of the markets our fund is invested in resulted in a loss of some of the funds, but the remaining monies are sufficient to continue helping for many years to come. Thank you to all who have given in the past and who will contribute in the future for making this ministry to our workers possible.

Mark Rucas became a part of the MMT and the Blessing Fund committee last year after sensing a call from God to revive efforts to fund mission work through a "Run for Missions"-like event. Mark ran 100 miles, breaking it up into three days, in the fall of 2019. The funds given to support his efforts bol- stered the Blessing Fund mentioned earlier.

This year, the "Run for Missions" leadership team approached the MMT about revamping, renaming, and repurposing the annual 100-mile event. In early June, the MMT discussed setting aside the funds raised this year as an emergency-needs or special-projects fund that would allow the EFC-MAYM MMT to quickly give a sizable donation to EFM when needs like the flooding in Congo arise. The current plan is to see a 10-runner relay team run from Haviland to Wichita along the old Run for Missions course. Each runner is committed to raising $1,000. If successful, $10,000 (or more) will be deposited in an account to provide early assistance to EFM with emergency needs and/or special projects. Your support by way of donations to a specific runner's efforts or given directly to the fund will be appreciated. Following this year's Run for Missions relay, the MMT will reevaluate the purpose and format for this event to determine how EFC-MAYM may best use it to partner with EFM, our missionary-sending agency.

The MMT continues to encourage support for the Friends of Kibimba Hospital board and the work they are doing in Burundi, Africa, to create a top-notch facility able to care for the medical needs of a community with which EFC- MAYM has had a lasting and loving relationship.

CAMP QUAKER HAVEN Spencer Linville, Chairperson

With a full camping schedule, new attractions, and the camp grounds looking better than ever, Camp Quaker Haven was the place to be in 2019. Joe and Carole continue to do a great job reaching out to churches, and groups, recruit- ing camps, and discerning the Lords will for the camp. All their hard work is evident in how the Lord has blessed the camp.

Along with the usual plumbing repairs, painting, and general maintenance during the winter months, we were able to update the sound system in the chapel with a modern, high quality system for all of our groups to enjoy. This was donated to the camp, at no expense to us! We also have plans underway to completely redesign the front entry gate to accommodate big delivery trucks, increase security, and to make the camp even more attractive for our guests.

On behalf of the CQH Board, I want to say thanks to all of our many volun- teers, donors, and churches that support us. Your sacrifice to keep Camp up and running has not gone unnoticed and is greatly appreciated.

STEWARDS BOARD Jeff Linville, Chairperson

The Lord continues to bless and provide our financial needs. We ended the 2019 year $17,200 in the black. This result was a combination of increased giving by some churches and conservative spending in a few areas.

During the January Stewards Board meeting it was decided to disperse some of the year end excess back into ministries to help off-set some the budget cuts that we have been forced to take over the last couple of years. The Home Mis- sions Board 2019 budget was increased by $7,500 and $7,500 was sent to EFM for their general budget. We look forward to being able to continue to increase ministry budgets in the future as the Lord continues to bless those who are faithful in giving.

“’Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse … test me in this,’ says the LORD Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.’” (Malachi 3:10)

The Stewards Board is so grateful for your prayers and your faithful giving.

BARCLAY COLLEGE Royce Frazier, President

None of us will soon forget the year of 2020. What an unprecedented and uncertain year we have traveled. Yet we are only half way through the year. With- in six short months we have experience a pandemic with an invisible foe and witnessed social upheaval boiling over from centuries of racism that have both spread around the globe. At the center of this stands the Quaker affirmation that “all life is sacred.” We have been forced to a new understanding of what it means to weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. The COVID-19 pandemic was a new, untested foe and every step was an adventure into uncharted waters. The social upheaval of “Black Lives Matter” is rooted in injustices and oppression that have echoed through the history of this country since its founding. It is forcing us to look deeper at ourselves and be- 29 yond a motto into what it means to truly embody the words of our founders, “We the people…” All life is sacred.

Barclay College sits in a unique and remarkable geographical location. During my long association with the college some have lamented the rural, small town location that presents challenges for a college of vision. Conversely, Barclay College finds itself today as the only accredited institution of higher education in southwest Kansas (an area the approximately the size of the combined states of Vermont and New Hampshire). It is the only faith-based institution in the western part of the state of Kansas. These two facts open opportunities for Bar- clay College. Many have commented on the sanctuary this setting provides. Our prayer for this next year is that this sanctuary allows faculty, students, and staff to have difficult and uncomfortable conversations, come to new under- standings, and rise to a greater commitment to each other and to our world.

This past year the Board of Trustees made a bold move at its fall meeting. It approved and directed the administration to begin the process of developing a nursing program at Barclay College. This venture, along with a recently submitted request to the Higher Learning Commission for approval of a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, press us into new arenas where our evangelical Quaker voice needs to be heard.

There is a long history of nursing students attending Barclay College and gain- ing their nursing credentials at nearby institutions. The challenge for Barclay College in developing its own nursing program has always been the initial cost of the nursing program. The cost of simulators, technology, and faculty is not a small investment. However, the board believed strongly that this was the next future for Barclay College. It subsequently initiated a Capacity Campaign of $800,000 to start the program with the board members being the first donors to the project. Today the college has received over $600,000 toward the project in gifts and pledges and we expect to surpass our goal this fall. Barclay College has proudly joined arms with Pratt Regional Medical Center (PRMC) for this project and PRMC has contributed a lead gift to the startup.

Friends have always believed that all are ministers. It is our ethos. Yet Barclay College has remained largely a ministry institution. Since it transitioned to a four-year institution in 1968, college catalogs show a total of 15 Bible/Ministry degrees have been offered. Only five different degrees in Arts and Sciences appear in that same timeframe. That is changing. While some things are changing, some things remain consistent. All students at Barclay College will continue to complete a second degree in Biblical Studies. Our new nursing director was attracted to the college because of the freedom to connect the reality of her faith to her profession in healing arts. So, while change is coming, some things from our core values remain consistent.

Barclay College is on the move to become the college of southwest Kansas. It remains on its quest to be the institution of choice for evangelical Christian ministry, thought, and mission. Barclay College also remains committed to the national and international movement of Evangelical Friends around the globe. I invite you to imagine something good with endless possibilities. Imagine Bar- clay College. Our only Plan A is to secure a better future. 30

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” Isaiah 60:1-3 (NIV)

COALITION FOR HISPANIC MINISTRIES David C. Bryne, Executive Director

When I first became a Christian, I sought out Christian fellowship wherever I could find it and actively found ways to share the excitement and reality of God’s work in me with others so that they could also share in it. At school, at home, and at work I would just try to gather people together to share the good news of life and salvation in Jesus. That was before I discovered and became a part of the dynamic work of God among Friends, for that was a turning point that brought some structure to the living out of my faith.

These days feel something like those early days of my walk with God, when everything seemed new and untethered to an organized church. The usual places where we meet to worship and to share about our life in Christ have not been available. The usual gatherings (including this Ministry Conference) where we normally gather to inspire one another to broader and deeper service cannot be held as before. So, we are left with a time of seeking whatever opportunity God gives to minister in His name and to share the power of the Gos- pel – in whatever language that we are able. Brad Briscoe in reflecting on the scheme of God’s work in the world says “the church doesn’t just send missionaries; the church is the missionary.” That is an important adjustment in thought.

What this means for Hispanic ministry, and for whatever ministry that we are involved in, is that we have to refocus on what is important. Is it buildings? The early church had none. Is it large gatherings of believers? Often the church has had to survive and revive in secret. What we are finding is that God’s power is being highlighted by the fact that what is important is not necessarily what is normal.

CHM has been adjusting as have all of us during this time of Covid-19. Churches like the one under the leadership of Arnoldo Garcia in North Hou- ston, that was just in its initial stages when the pandemic began, have had to look for other metrics than service attendance in order to evaluate their success, and we rejoice that there has been much fruit. Leaders continue to minister – and often to broader audiences – as they draw in friends and family internationally for their worship and studies.

In some ways, CHM has been ahead of the curve in that much of our ministry over the last decade has been through electronic means with online meetings, classes and resources. In Mid-America we have continued that trend by hosting online gatherings of pastors on “Friends: Leadership and Evangelism” to see how our heritage calls us to the world. We also are in ongoing contact through

meetings for church development and we continue to conduct classes for His- panic Friends and others from across the Americas. Of course, much of the travel that I would normally do to connect with Friends has been suspended for the time being while church groups reevaluate directions for their own local ministries.

We have also helped our Friends groups to navigate these waters and have, for instance, been able to help a couple of our Hispanic church plants (OKC and San Antonio) to receive grants giving some financial support as church members are struggling with their own finances and employment. Our special thanks to Everence and the Mennonite sponsors who made those grants available.

Our plans currently include the North American Hispanic Friends Conference in November that was originally to be held in Haviland in conjunction with the International Friends Church Multiplication Conference. Our plan now is to hold weekly online mini-conferences leading up to the November 11th-13th conference dates in order to go deeper and to promote the church-planting vision in anticipation of participating online in the international conference.

It is precisely for times like these that CHM exists, knowing that ministry requires partnership in order to face down the “gates of hell,” especially among our growing ethnic churches, CHM helps to assure that those growing edge ministries have the resources and support that will bring increase and blessing to the entire body of Friends – and ultimately to God’s Kingdom. May He be glorified.

FRIENDS UNIVERSITY Amy Bragg Carey, President

This past year Friends University, along with the rest of the world, has been profoundly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. In March, we made the difficult decision to send our students home to complete their semester remotely, online. We also quickly shifted the operations of our university to a virtual format with most everyone working from home. Despite this, we feel it is important to look back at our significant accomplishments and activities from the past year. These achievements spur us on to think of brighter days ahead. We believe that God is using this time to help us gain a different perspective, to understand His good and beautiful Kingdom more fully. We recognize now more than ever that our distinctive is our caring relationships among the Friends family and how we seek to build up each student’s God-given potential and serve them with excellence. In this report, you will read about how the Friends University community has thrived over the last year. Students have

received a transformative educational experience with opportunities to take part in nationally recognized programs and be led by top-notch professors who value each student individually.

Faith-based initiatives Keeping with our core RISE values of Respect, Inclusion, Service and Excel- lence, Friends is strengthening our reach in various communities and forming partnerships that position the university to provide a solid Christ-centered education. The Master of Christian Spiritual Formation and Leadership degree program welcomes new residency lecturer Emily P. Freeman. Emily, author of The Next Right Thing, will journey alongside students at all four in-person gatherings of the program, teaching on discipleship and decision-making in the Kingdom of God. The weekly Things Above podcast has increased engage- ment and reached new audiences over the course of the last year. With over 350,000 downloads, an increase of 98,000 downloads from the previous year, host Dr. James Bryan Smith continues to illustrate spiritual thoughts through Godly devotions and numerous distinguished guests who are devoted to sharing and setting their minds on things above. The success of the podcast is in part because it stays true to the message that what we put in our minds is critical to our Christian spiritual formation. Each episode is recorded on the Friends University campus and has a world-wide dedicated audience tuning in. The podcast can be found at apprenticeinstitute.org/things-above-podcast. Last fall, Friends University began a pilot program with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) to award two internships to Friends students. By teaming up to create the Friends-FCA scholarship internship program, both FCA and Friends are furthering their missions. The internship recipients are growing their faith, developing leadership skills and serving others both inside and outside the athletic community. This past academic year, Campus Ministries attended the MAYM yearly meeting youth roundtable to discuss with MAYM youth leaders how to best minister to youth and young adults throughout the year. These conversations prove fruitful as we continue to strengthen our relationship with local MAYM church leaders. This year we also celebrated our third annual Quaker Heritage week where we were able to celebrate the history of the impact of Quakers on abolition, women’s rights, and how those have influenced Friends’ own RISE values. Friends University introduced a new RISE Scholar- ship for Fall 2020. The RISE scholarship covers full undergraduate tuition (up to 18 credit hours per semester for four years through a combination of federal, state and institutional aid sources) given to a first time student belonging to a Quaker Church Family who embodies the values of Friends University: Re- spect, Inclusion, Service, and Excellence. Congratulations to Rachel Harvey of Wichita, KS!

Academics Friends University launched several new concentrations this year to allow students to further focus their degree program into specialized career paths. In addition, several of our programs have been recognized for their academic excellence and quality. Friends University is pleased to begin offering new concentrations including Supply Chain Management with the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree and Sports Management and Project Man- agement with the Master of Business Administration and Global Master of

Business Administration degrees. These new concentrations will meet market demand and should help Friends graduates gain a competitive edge in their careers. Friends University is also now offering a new Master of Education concentration in Dyslexia and Literacy Intervention. Friends and the Funda- mental Learning Center have joined forces to provide teachers with professional training in dyslexia that will count toward a Master of Education degree. This is the first concentration of its kind in the state of Kansas. Friends Univer- sity has been awarded top ranking status for multiple degree programs and was listed among hundreds of competing institutions across the nation by Intelli- gent.com. Each ranking is based on curriculum quality, graduation rate, reputation and post-graduate employment. Friends degree programs including the Master of Health Care Leadership, Bachelor of Cyber Security, MBA and Master of Education made the final list. Several online master’s programs offered by Friends University have earned national rankings from U.S. News & World Reports’ Best Online Programs. The 2020 national rankings for Friends University include high ranking for the Master of Health Care Leadership, Master of Management Information Systems, Master of Business Administra- tion and the Global Master of Business Administration along with the Master of Education in Teaching and Learning. Friends’ Master of Management Infor- mation Systems program is ranked in the top 30 MMIS programs at No. 5 in the nation, according to Onlinecollegeplan.com. Friends University was the only school in Kansas on the list. The Master of Management Information Sys- tems program works to prepare students to be responsible and knowledgeable in their professional positions within leadership roles in the information systems industry. Friends has also received national recognition once again as a College of Distinction for the integrity of its truly individualized and engaging education. The University is recognized as a College of Distinction, Christian College of Distinction and a Kansas College of Distinction.

Student Scholarships Friends University once again offered students from Wichita and surrounding school districts the opportunity to earn a STEM Promise scholarship. Five winners were selected from a pool of applications. They had to meet a minimum of a 3.2 GPA, be admitted to a Friends University STEM program, demonstrate a financial need, and submit two essays on why they want to pursue a career in a STEM field and how they will contribute to the Friends University community. Two of our winners are Kansas Governor’s scholars, one was the Salutatorian of her high school and another was her school’s Valedictorian. Three of the STEM scholarship winners are also first-generation students.

Fine Arts The Friends University Ballet Department presented the jazz version of a holiday favorite, Ellington’s Nutcracker. The performance was set to a live jazz band playing The Duke Ellington Orchestra’s composition of the Nutcracker Suite, arranged by Billy Strayhorn with selections from David Berger’s Harlem Nutcracker (1996). The Friends University ballet program is the first in the USA to integrate the groundbreaking SAFE® BARRE method into its training, thanks to director Andrea Vazquez-Aguirre who acquired her coaching certificate in Paris during the summer of 2019.

35 Athletics Our Friends University athletic squads continued their mastery both on the playing surface and in the classroom. The Men’s Soccer Falcons captured the KCAC Cham- pionship to qualify for the NAIA National Tournament, while the Women’s Soccer team also received a bid to the NAIA tourney. The Women’s Indoor Track & Field Falcons kept their dynasty ticking by claiming the KCAC Indoor Championship, their combined 11th straight conference title spanning both the indoor and outdoor seasons.

On the academic side, the Falcons put a slew of athletes on the KCAC Scholar Ath- lete list, including leading the conference in Women’s Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field, Volleyball, Women’s Tennis and Baseball.

Friends University also partnered with the City of Wichita for use of the West Side Athletic Field. Friends made improvements to the field, including installing artificial turf on the infield. West Side Athletic Field is now the permanent home field for the Baseball Falcons, along with practices and potential tournaments.

In recognition of Friends athletic success on and off the field this year, Athletic Di- rector, Dr. Rob Ramseyer, has been chosen as the KCAC Athletic Director of the Year.

Mission Challenge for Everyone: As this year has brought many changes to our lives with the Covid-19 may we remember to think of our workers that do not have the access to health coverage, hospitals, testing and food that we here in America have. May we be diligent to pray and uplift them as they seek where God would lead them during this time. Also, pray for them and their health and the health of their family.

KALEO ACADEMY Brockie Follette, Director

The year 2019-2020 for Kaleo Academy has been full of some normal, some disappointment, and a whole lot of adventure. Currently the 2019-2020 Cohort of Kaleo Academy is still wrapping up. With the onset of COVID-19 in early March, some of our students had to postpone their Released Projects until this summer or fall. Churches from EFC-MAYM who have been Sending Churches for this cohort are Bethel, Crossroads, Friendswood, Haviland, Northridge, and Rose Hill. This year’s KA participants from EFC-MAYM are Seth Lingafelter – Haviland, Hannah Har- vey – Northridge, Emmi Hancock – Friendswood, Aspen Sohm and Rolanda Ger- ber – Bethel, Luke Macy – Crossroads, Weston Smith – Rose Hill, and Trinity Looney – unaffiliated. When the student’s Released Projects are complete, we look forward to sharing their inspiring stories of leadership and service.

What a great disappointment for our Kaleo community to make a difficult decision out of concern for the wellbeing of our students, staff and ministry partners as we laid down the 2020-2021 Kaleo Academy Cohort. All students who had applied this year were notified of this decision and were offered automatic acceptance into the 2021-2022 Kaleo Academy Cohort. Fall seniors, who applied for the 2020-21 cohort, were contacted by a Kaleo staff member in regards to developing opportunities for them during the 2020-21 school year

Starting May 1st, we pivoted back to our Kaleo Academy Alumni to listen, support and encourage them during these unusual times. Our Kaleo Academy alumni includes students, mentors, Sending Churches and peer leaders from our previous three KA cohorts. Our hope was that in our listening we could become a national Friends resource center during these uncertain times. Out of our listening we created the following resources for the Friends Church and on each platform, our Kaleo Academy Alumni helped pilot these opportunities:

37 1. Kaleo Conversations: Themed-Panel Discussions with leaders and students from the Friends Movement streamed Live on the Kaleo Academy Facebook Page

June 4 - Creative Summer Children's Ministry & VBS June 9 - Camp: What Will It Look Like This Summer? June 11 - Intergenerational Ministry: A New Reality June 16 - Walking Through Racial Injustices Together June 18 - Alternatives to Spring & Summer Mission Trips

(All of these KA Conversations are still posted on our Kaleo Academy Facebook page if you are interested in watching).

2. Kaleo Community: Student-Led Zoom Worship for Kaleo Academy Alumni and others

3. Kaleo Class: Interactive Zoom classes available to Kaleo Academy alumni, youth groups, and young adult groups featuring Kaleo Academy teachers and content

4. Kaleo Connections: A platform for young leaders to share ideas to help move the Friends Movement forward, streamed live on the Kaleo Academy Facebook page

Also, because we were in unchartered waters, we reached out to Ministry Architects for some consultation they were offering at a reduced rate. We had the opportunity to be featured on their Facebook Live conversation Thursday, May 28th to share about Good News in our program. After our appearance on the Live conversation, the founder of the company, Mark Devries, asked to coach us personally. Wow, what an honor for Kaleo Academy!

Kaleo Academy continues to be connected with the Growing Young research of Fuller Youth Institute. This past year we have presented the research at Rocky Moun- tain Yearly Meeting and various Friends Churches. Staff members, Katy Moran and Brockie Follette, are certified speakers of Growing Young for the Friends denomina- tion and are available to speak at Friends retreats, conferences, short courses, etc. Please Contact Brockie if you would like to know more at brock- [email protected]

Our original Lilly Endowment Inc. grant came to a close at the end of 2019 and in October we were granted another 4 year Lilly Endowment Inc. sustainability grant which will cover half of our operating budget for the next 4 years. We are inviting EFC-NA Regions and other evangelically minded Yearly Meetings & Committees to prayerfully consider including giving to Kaleo Academy through their annual budgets. An apportionment of $500 year from each of our participating EFC-NA regions and other evangelically minded regions plus the Lilly Endowment grant would be what we need to make it through the next 4 years. We are already on our way towards sustainability as we were granted a one-time gift of $15,000 from the Clarence Pickett Leadership Endowment in late 2018. We trust God has a plan for the future of Kaleo Academy even if we can’t see it fully at this time.

Thank you for your continued support of Kaleo Academy. Our dream is to someday have a student from every evangelically-minded Friends Church to partner with KA by sending a student to one of our cohorts. At Kaleo Academy we continue to believe

38 the local church and their ability to speak into the lives of young people and vice versa- young people can speak into the lives of our local body. Thanks for letting us partner with you. We really are better together!

KICKAPOO FRIENDS CENTER Brad & Christine Wood

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 (NKJV)

Isn’t it exciting that the same God who spoke and brought forth light from the darkness (Genesis 1:3), has also brought light to shine in us through our Lord Jesus Christ? Although it seems as if our world is quickly being engulfed again in darkness, we know that the light will prevail.

Many years ago when my father, Ron Wood, was director, a Kickapoo man came at night to visit. He had been drinking and was troubled in spirit. As they sat outside and talked, he made a statement that has forever been etched on our hearts. He said, “I came because there is light here, but not like that light.” He made this remark while pointing at the security light that shone on the driveway. His statement reminds us that God has used both this place and the people who serve here, to be a light shining in the darkness.

As I write this year’s Annual Report, we are still in the midst of the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020. It has been challenging to figure out how to let your light shine while having minimal contact with people. We have been hosting a “drive in” service for Sunday worship and meeting on zoom for weekly Bible study. I will have to say, despite the fact there are new challenges and barriers there has also undoubtedly been blessings in the midst of this trial. We have had contact with some individuals that we have not been in touch with for a long time. Also, some extra time has been available to work on projects that had been previously neglected.

Looking back on 2019, we found it to be a year with some blessing, but also a fair amount of difficulty. Vacation Bible School and Quivering Arrow Camp were both times of great blessing. Although attendance at VBS was lower than usual, it was still a very positive experience for many people, both young and old. Jackson Friends Church from Massillon, OH, again brought an awesome team to share, teach and inspire many from the Kickapoo community that attended.

Quivering Arrow was blessed with an excellent staff. With the exception of one large complication, camp ran very smoothly. The greatest challenge we faced was that the kitchen oven would not work. This left our flexible staff scrambling

39 for other ways to cook the food. They were a tremendous team. I do not remember a single complaint, rather, only some ingenious ways of getting all the food cooked while consistently remaining on schedule.

Spiritually speaking, camp was good. Almost all of the campers responded to the Lord in some fashion. After over 45 years of experience with camp, it seems fairly obvious to me that when we distance ourselves from distractions, focus on learning about God and worshiping Him, we find that God responds by making His presence known in our lives. He calls all to follow Him and many to a life of serving Him.

However, when we returned from camp, it seemed that Satan was also working diligently to destroy all the good that was accomplished in the previous month. Almost all of the youth that went to camp returned home to major difficulties in their families. Even to the extreme that some of the families were broken up, sending the children to different homes in foster care. As we tried to follow up with them later in the summer, everyone expressed anger and hurt for what their parents had put them through. I could only share with them how God wanted to start with them in order to change that dynamic in their family. Sin brings a curse on our family. However, faith and obedience will bring blessing. With that being said, God wants these students to be blessed and to raise their children in faith.

With all the distractions and all of the family difficulties it was very difficult to get young people to regularly attend Wednesday night. Instead of having 35-45, we now only have 13-20. Now, because of the lock down, we have been unable to have youth meeting for over a month. We ask all who read this to lift up these Native youth in your prayers often.

The LIGHTS, our women’s group worked diligently under the direction of Candy Klumpp to sew quilts and comforts to give away at our annual Christmas program. Traditionally, blankets were very precious to our Kickapoo people. To give someone a blanket is to say to them, “I care about you.” Over the years, many doors have been opened to the missionaries because of a blanket.

Our worship services have not been well attended, but we have been meeting and working on projects together. Ownership and responsibility is still lacking for many of the adults who attend. At the same rate, there definitely has been growth in some areas.

As we look forward to the rest of 2020, we know that we are probably going to have to modify our original plans for summer ministry due to the current pandemic. We pray that whatever we can do, we will be effective and fruitful in the lives of the Kickapoo people.

MULTIPLICATION CATALYST MINISTIRES Randy Littlefield, Director

MCM is all about equipping leaders to multiply other leaders to make disciples and ultimately expand the Kingdom of God here on earth. We count it a privilege to

40 mission remains to come alongside and to encourage new church planters and leaders who are faithfully responding to God’s call to make new disciples and prayerfully plant new churches. This includes traditional, missional, and all cross-cultural planters, as well as bi-vocational planters and those leaders who have come to be called “Co-vocational Planters”. A co-vocational planter is one whose primary vocation is in the marketplace, but at the same time they feel led to start a church. The “covo” planter is one who knows God has called them to a specific vocation, and they desire to weave that calling into the plan to plant a church. They realize those two callings are not isolated from one another, but instead are actually interlinked and equal. I have now had the opportunity to serve with church leaders here in middle America, which is home to me and my family, now for the last 10 years consistently and also several years prior as God has given me opportunity. They have been good years. As I look back over this time, it was not one moment, but at some point, I woke up to the idea that leadership was about empowerment. Real leaders take the power entrusted to them and share it. They build a bigger table, with more seats for a great variety of people, with different kinds of voices. The focus of leadership changed, radically for me, to be a champion of others, seeing them shine. Maybe the point after all is not to lead people to a place, but to a person, the person of Jesus Christ.

I also have the privilege of working with leaders across denominational lines, and across inter-denominational borders who are also seeking to multiply leaders, groups, and churches for the Kingdom. Times certainly have changed, but solid biblical principles have not. Sure, methods and processes have changed, but our God is faithful! Amen? The executive team of MCM Associates has also undergone some change as leaders serve voluntarily for a time until God calls them to move on. This last year David Byrne has chaired our MCM team and allowed us to stay the course to “fan the flames of multiplication”. We are all grateful to him. Most of you probably know that Jim LeShana has been called to lead the churches of Northwest Yearly Meeting of Friends, but Jim interacts with MCM as he can and continues to guide the concept of our National Friends Church (and now International in 2020) Multiplication Confer- ence coming in November. There remains much work to do, but our Holy Spirit leads and works ahead of us.

Mid-America Home Missions team members have supported MCM financially since 2017 when MCM Associates established our stand-alone Not-for-Profit status along with monthly donations along with several churches and individuals from across Mid -America and beyond. We invite others to support MCM with donations that can be sent to the MCM office in Wichita to the attention of Thayne Thompson. Thank you in advance for your support and God will bless you.

MCM provides me a monthly stipend for housing allowance, and, also reimburses any travel and office expenses associated with MCM. This provision keeps me “on the road”, except for the time of the pandemic! The executive team meets regularly via video conferencing, as the team members are available. David Byrne invites and presides, along with Adrian Halverstadt from EFC-North America and Rocky Moun- tain YM, Tom Palmer from Iowa YM, Mike Dennis and Rusty Savage from EFC- ER, Thayne Thompson, David Byrne and myself from Mid-America, and Jim Le- Shana from NWYM when he is able. We are currently seeking a leader from EFC- SW. We also have Multiplication catalysts identified and who join when they can from every regional locale in the United States, and at times, Dan Cammack or Matt Macy from EFM will join us.

We are in a battle for the soul of America. America has become the new mission field. It will take nothing less than a church planting movement to reach the 300 million plus people who are disconnected or unclaimed by the church”. We know that America is a mosaic made up of many different people groups and that it is going to take all kinds of churches to reach all kinds of people. Our vision is to bring pleasure to God byusing proactive, servant leadership to lead Friends churches and regions, to actively participate in mobilizing a church planting movement in the United States of America, where every healthy church will become a reproducing church and no church planter will ever be left alone. We dream of the day when Friends Churches across America will mobilize with at least 25 new church planters and will develop an additional 25 missional planters each year. We see lost souls coming into life-giving relationships with Jesus Christ as faithful leaders and common, everyday believers are on fire for the Great Commission! We see new disciples gathered into new churches through cooperative efforts and solutions where MCM Associates assist in training and mobilizing leaders across Quakerdom to fulfill our God-given role in God’s mission in America and beyond. We see systematic coordinated efforts with uniquely Friends ethos supporting new churches that are growing and multiplying to many generations and all contributing to the glory of God through Jesus Christ!

We dream of the day when our Friends movement will be marked by a 10% reproduction rateon a five-year reproduction cycle, and a 20% tipping point of new churches in our regions. We dream of the day when our Friends churcheswill be missional, incarnational, and kingdom driven. We must keep planting because the harvest is coming. We see Regional Catalysts rising up in their geographical regions, in coordination with their respective leadership, through vision casting and equipping/training to identify, recruit, and mobilize other leaders to spark a church planting movement! We see international, national, and regional New Church Multi- plication Celebrations occurring regularly where new stories are told, new heroes are honored, and new leaders are affirmed and sent into new mission territories!

Some of you have already committed to be a Point Liaison for your Region; others not yet. We need your heart & voice as a part of MCM! MCM continues to focus our mission and energy on making disciples who make disciples who make disciples. Dr. Bob Logan says “One good benchmark in our disciple-making effective- ness is how many people are focused and intentional in discipling relationship; one where they have a chance to reflect on their spiritual formation and mission. Re- membering that “meeting together” does not necessarily indicate a church service, which is not possible during certain times and in certain countries. Rather, it can mean meeting in peer groups of twos and threes and fours. “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20). How many people are involved in a Hebrews 10:23-25 kind of a relationships? The writer of Hebrews reminds us, “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” I have this verse on my MCM Associates business card from Habakkuk 1:5 “Look at the nations and watch-and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” So, keep stretching because the Harvest is coming!

WICHITA FRIENDS SCHOOL Pam Chambers , Head of School

Wichita Friends School’s 2019-2020 school year did not end as we envisioned. The COVID-19 pandemic interrupted a great year of enjoying our largest enrollment in the past 5 years and daily seeing God at work in the lives of our children and their families. The mission of Wichita Friends School is to provide a high-quality academic experience within a supportive learning environment that deeply reflects the Quak- er values of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship. By living out the SPICES at WFS, our children and their families are impacted. We do not teach Quaker doctrine; however, we do expose our children to the love of Jesus. Our staff does a wonderful job of modeling and teaching love, respect, and acceptance of all. Wichita Friends School experienced growth this past school year with 48 students and 9 staff members. The school is preparing to safely re-open in August and we anticipate another great year of growth. We will continue to tell our story and sharing the life changing love of Jesus. Wichita Friends School is giving our students the tools and loving support each child needs to make a difference in their communities and in this world. I am so grateful for the individuals in Evangeli- cal Friends Church Mid-America that support Wichita Friends School. Your prayers, your service, and your financial gifts are crucial to carrying out our mission. Thank you.

EVANGELICAL FRIENDS MISSION Dan Cammack, Executive Director

“Jesus said: The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest.” - Matthew 9:37-38

What is his harvest field today?

His harvest field is still the whole world. According to the Joshua Project, there are around 7,000 people groups on planet earth that have either not had a significant part of their people hear the good news of Jesus Christ or have not had enough become disciples in order to reach the rest of their group. There’s about three billion of these folks. They need missionaries to live among them, sharing the good news in word and deed and making disciples of those who respond. The harvest is indeed plentiful and the workers few.

What would the Lord of the harvest have EFM do about the lack of workers?

10 NEW MISSIONARIES (households) from North America

5 NEW FIELDS by 2025. Are YOU one of those 10?

Who is Evangelical Friends Mission (EFM) and what do we do?

EFM is the global missions arm of Evangelical Friends in North America. It has ex- isted since 1963. The yearly meetings/regions who are currently part of this joint effort are: • Alaska Yearly Meeting • Northwest Yearly Meeting • Evangelical Friends Church - Mid America Yearly Meeting • Rocky Mountain Yearly Meeting • Friends Southwest • Evangelical Friends Church - Eastern Region • Iowa Yearly Meeting (Associate Member) • Indiana Yearly Meeting (Associate Member)

EFM’s purpose and passion is to fuel a worldwide movement of people who seek first the kingdom of God, planting churches that live and die to carry out the Great Commission in the spirit of the Great Commandment.

What is the Lord currently doing through EFM?

A story of transformation from Romania as told by Voicu and Ana Marian We see the Lord’s footsteps daily in the lives of our students. We’ve seen his miraculous transformation in the lives of orphan girls and in young women being a part of our family. However, we chose a story that we haven’t shared before, and not for the “worldly success,” but because we’ve seen Jesus being glorified through it.

We first met Iulia at the Orlat public school in the 5th grade English class. She was tall, beautiful, and extremely bright. A couple years later she attended our summer camp and she’s remained close ever since. Iulia’s hard work earned her maximum scores in her high school entrance exam. Throughout high school she continued to study English with Ana and attended weekly youth meetings. After one such meeting at our apartment, Iulia gave her life to Christ.

The battle only then began. Having won the high school beauty pageant, she was hard pressed by one influential professor to transfer to Bucharest and pursue modeling. Iulia’s temptation was great, but she asked us for advice and prayer. She chose to remain in Sibiu, and later on was elected president of student council. (She wrote a letter at the time, praising God for saving her and encouraging us to witness boldly to other teenagers as well.)

Julia graduated valedictorian and enrolled at “Lucian Blaga” Sibiu University. She did part of her graduate studies in Beijing, China. Today Iulia Gita is a faculty member (Chinese-English Department) at her Alma Matter, and a PhD candidate. She’s remained affectionate whenever we happen to meet. We trust God entirely with Iu- lia’s life and future impact in the community. her and encouraging us to witness boldly to other teenagers as well.) Iulia graduated

Who is serving with EFM right now?

How can you be involved in this Great Commission work? That’s what the next three sections are about. Please keep reading!

PRAY as a prayer partner for a missionary and EFM.

SUBSCRIBE TO MISSIONARY NEWS: EFM publishes a monthly prayer letter and missionaries provide news and updates periodically. Sign up at www.friendsmission.com/pray to be a prayer partner and help EFM update our new data base.

Prayer is not just making our requests known to God, it is also giving him thanks and praise for what he is doing. We invite you to practice both by praying through the following:

PRAISES • For lives that are being transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ (like Iulia’s). • For the unity of the EFM Board in committing to ten new missionaries (households) from North America to launch five new fields by 2025. • That the Lord has protected the health of the missionaries and national leaders as they do their best to support those they work with during this worldwide health and economic crisis. • For the generous donations made to our emergency fund for helping meet some of the needs created by the spread of COVID-19. There was also a generous response to our request for help when a flood swept through the city of Uvira, Congo. The recipients of all this aid are very grateful! • That Brad, Chelsea, Sarai, Gideon, and Ian Carpenter, who serve in Rwanda, Africa, were able to return to the U.S. for deputation. • That Indiana Yearly Meeting (IYM) has become an associate member of EFM. Welcome aboard, IYM!

PRAYER REQUESTS • That the Lord of the harvest would raise up ten new missionaries (households) from our regions/yearly meetings in North America and cast them out into five new fields during the next five years. • For the EFM Board and staff as we complete the strategic plan for the five-year goal and implement it. • That the situation caused by the spread of COVID-19 would create a spiritual hunger all around the world that would help people be more receptive to Jesus’ invitation to take his yoke and follow him. • For the wisdom and strength missionaries and national leaders need to guide their ministries through the coming months. • That our local churches, regions/yearly meetings, and EFM will see the provision of the Lord in the midst of economic difficulties worldwide. • • For the Carpenter family as they try to do deputation in the U.S. the best they can in the midst of the restrictions due to COVID-19.

46 • For the Carpenter family as they try to do deputation in the U.S. the best they can in the midst of the restrictions due to COVID-19.

GIVE as a financial partner to a missionary, project or general fund.

EFM has been blessed over the years by regular giving from the yearly meetings/ regions, local churches, and a host of individuals. Such giving has enabled us to support the ministry of EFM’s missionaries as well as respond to emergencies and special projects on the fields. We are grateful for this faithful giving. At the same time, EFM has underfunded ministries that need supported both in the office and overseas, and, in light of the current economic situation of the world, we, like you, are looking to our heavenly Father to provide for our needs. Since he often provides through the body of Christ we will continue to keep you informed of our needs and invite you to respond as the Lord leads.

Here are some giving opportunities that we invite you to prayerfully consider:

• Several years ago EFM created an initiative called “Luke 10” to help us identify where to start new fields. It is based on Jesus’ instructions in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 10, and involves visits to unreached areas, consultations with our brothers and sisters in Christ closest to these areas, and discernment with future missionaries God may be calling to pursue these opportunities. If you would like to support the starting of new fields in this way you can do so online at https:// catalog.friendsmission.com/onlinegiving (make sure to designate “Luke 10”). • Much of the growth that EFM has experienced over the years has been in Asia, right in the middle of a multitude of unreached people groups. One might think that these exciting ministries are the easiest ones to fund, but that is not always true. Contact our office (303-421-8100) for the most recent information on underfunded fields in Asia to support. • Three years ago, EFM formed a partnership with Mexico Yearly Meeting to help them send out their first missionaries, Jaime and Lupita Leon. Jaime and Lupita are from Aguascalientes, Mexico, and are currently serving in the state of Sinaloa in northwest Mexico. Churches and individuals in Mexico Yearly Meeting made a commitment to cover the Leon’s salary. EFM offered to cover their ministry expenses as well as ongoing training for missionary service. We could use your help with those expenses. You can contribute by giving online at https:// catalog.friendsmission.com/projects. • For many years EFM has been partnering with yearly meetings in Rwanda, Bu- rundi, and the Congo to train leaders. We see much fruit from these training efforts, but as these yearly meetings continue to grow the need for more leaders also grows. Income for EFM’s yearly contributions to the training has been drop- ping off in recent years, so we invite you to help us turn that trend around. You can do so by sending gifts for the Great Lakes Leadership Training initiatives. The amount needed for 2020 is $26,500. • Whenever our missionaries come to the U.S. for deputation they always need to raise funds for their own support and sometimes for special projects as well. A really good way to encourage the missionaries is by responding to their requests for both prayer and financial support. In the next few months you will have the opportunity to do that for the Carpenter family. You can visit all of our missionary pages at www.friendsmission.com/missionaries.

For a full list of our Special Projects that you can support, visit https:// catalog.friendsmission.com/projects.

GO as a missionary with EFM.

We are currently looking to send missionaries to the four areas listed below. More destinations will be added as we complete the strategic plan for the five-year goal (ten new missionaries [households] from North America to launch five new fields by 2025) and do the Luke 10 trips.

What areas of the world are we focusing on currently?

There is one EFM missionary family left in Africa. We’ve had to wrestle with the question: “Does this mean that God is done with EFM in Africa?” As we’ve prayed and talked about it we’ve become convinced that God would have us rebuild our team in Central Africa. We believe he wants us to be part of keeping the whole-life discipleship, church planting movement crossing borders through tools like Discipling for Development. He also wants us to be partners with Africa Friends in sending missionaries to their own continents and beyond. They are sensing that call already and are asking for our help in responding to it.

The state of Sinaloa is in the northwest part of Mexico and is one of the areas of that country that has the fewest evangelical Christians. We Friends have had a tiny foot- hold there in a village called Siete Ejidos but have lacked the personnel to make disciples and plant churches in the surrounding villages and cities. Thanks be to the Lord, Jaime and Lupita Leon responded to the call and are working in that area right now. But one missionary unit is not enough. Who will go and join them in this work?

Several years ago the Lord called Russell and Sarah Badgley and their family to go to the southeast corner of Ecuador and share the good news of Jesus Christ with an un- derreached tribe called the Shuar. Badgleys were able to spend the equivalent of two years in Ecuador building relationships that will help make this kind of work possible. Now that they are back in the States to stay, who will go and build on the foundation they have laid?

According to the Joshua Project, India is the country with the most unreached people groups in it. More than two thousand! It’s a tough country to get into, and a tough country in which to carry out the Great Commission, but God still opens doors and sustains those who are working there for his purposes. M. and K. L. recently completed their first term pioneering a new work. Who will step through the next door he opens?

How do you know if God is calling you to serve him overseas? You can start a process of discernment by completing our Missionary Interest Form, under the GO tab at friendsmission.com. Other steps in the process can include things like a short-term field experience or a Future-Missionary Trip to an EFM field with an EFM missionary. There will also be Luke 10 trips to identify new fields.

PRAY. GIVE. GO. Three ways to be involved in what God is doing through EFM. Which one(s) will you start putting into practice today?

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

- Jesus, Acts 1:8

EVANGELICAL FRIENDS CHURCH INTERNATIONAL David Williams, Interim Director

“Don’t waste your time on useless work, mere busywork … it’s a scandal when people waste their lives. Wake up from your sleep, climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light! So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!” - Ephesians 5:11-16, MSG

The ground seems to be shifting under our feet these days as we all do our best to deal with a global pandemic and struggle to grasp a capricious concept we common- ly refer to as the "new normal." It can be extraordinarily disorienting, to say the least. For those of us who want nothing more than to be known as faithful friends of Jesus in our day and time, it requires what one of my former coworkers often refers to as "good spiritual reflexes."

I think it is safe to say that our spiritual reflexes have been tested repeatedly in recent days throughout the body of Christ. It can be extra challenging to discern the "good, pleasing and perfect will of God" (Rm 12:2) during times of extraordinary stress. Thankfully, we can rely on the Holy Spirit to lead us into greater clarity over time, regardless of our circumstances.

In his Quaker classic, The Spirit of Holiness, Everett Cattell offers several tests for sifting through the various impulses that come our way. One of his most memorable pearls of wisdom is this: "The voice of God is in a conviction which grows with the passing of time and becomes inescapable and compelling." He refers to this expression of Spirit-led discernment as "an ever more weighty conviction."

This has certainly been a growing reality for me in recent days. After many months of deliberation, I eventually sensed an increasingly inescapable, compelling and "ever more weighty conviction" that the Lord was asking me to accept an invitation to serve as interim director for Evangelical Friends Church International (EFCI). I stepped into this new role on April 1, 2020, with the understanding that I will continue to serve in my current role as lead superintendent for Evangelical Friends Church- Mid America Yearly Meeting (EFC-MAYM) until a more permanent EFCI director has been appointed.

Serving as the global umbrella for our extended family of Evangelical Friends around the world, a Spirit-filled movement of devoted Christ followers who are deeply committed to fulfilling Jesus' Great Commission in the spirit of his Great Commandment, EFCI currently includes more than 180,000 weekly worshippers representing more than 1,800 worship groups in 36 countries on 5 continents. The governing body for EFCI is the International Council, which is comprised of the regional directors from each of these 5 continents:

• EFCI-Africa: Aaron Mupenda (Rwanda), Regional Director • EFCI-Asia: Arun Massey (India), Regional Director • EFCI-Europe: Tony Frei (Hungary), Regional Director • EFCI-Latin America: Sabino Chipana (Bolivia), Regional Director • EFCI-North America: Adrian Halverstadt (USA), Regional Director

50 The work of EFCI has thrived since its official inception in 1989 under the extremely capable and compassionate leadership of its previous directors. Ron Stansell, former missionary to South America and professor of missiology at George Fox Uni- versity, served as the very first EFCI international director from 1989-2013. My brother, John Williams, former superintendent of Evangelical Friends Church- Eastern Region (EFC-ER) and director of Evangelical Friends Church-North Ameri- ca (EFC-NA), followed Ron and completed seven years of highly effective service on March 31, 2020.

At its heart and soul, EFCI has always been much more of a relational organism than a bureaucratic organization. As one of our leaders has been known to say, "Organizations don't build relationships; relationships build organizations." The International Council continues to function today as a highly collegial group of servant leaders who love the Lord with all of their hearts and are committed to supporting the advance of the gospel with every fiber of their being. Over the years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel to each of the 5 continents represented by EFCI, and to partner with many of our regional directors on their home turf. It is both a high and holy privilege and a daunting responsibility to have the honor of entering into an even greater partnership with each and every one of these dear friends and colleagues in the days ahead.

There are several specific initiatives that we will be pursuing together in the coming days:

1. Pray regularly for one another (weekly) 2. Meet frequently with one another (monthly/online) 3. Gather periodically with one another (every three years/onsite) 4. Invest generously in one another (appropriate financial assistance) 5. Cooperate closely with one another (strategic ministry projects) : • New EFCI Website Construction (Jun 2020) • International Friends Church Multiplication Conference (Nov 2020) • Elisha Generation Student Mission Conference (Jan 2022) • Establishment of Regional Mission Boards (Dec 2025)

I close this report with a quote from my maternal grandfather, Byron Osborne, an Evangelical Friends pastor, teacher and college administrator. It was written during the height of World War II, just a short time before he was chosen to serve as presiding clerk for the very first formal gathering of the Association of Evangelical Friends at Colorado Springs in June of 1947, the forerunner of what we now know today as Evangelical Friends Church International:

“We in America are coming to a fuller realization that the present is a dark period in the world’s history … no man can foresee what the end will be. So many things we hold dear are seriously threatened that we hardly dare think of the possibilities … [but] all is not lost. Chaos and ruin are not our ultimate destiny. God has provided some better thing for us. Destruction and death may be the order for a little while, but the vistas of the future are luminous with the glories that are to be. Out of the chaos is to come order; cruelty and hate are to be supplanted by gentleness and love; darkness will give place to light.”

Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!

WE HAVE A DREAM A Commissioning Prayer for Evangelical Friends Church-Mid America July 27, 2014

“In the last days,” God says, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.” Acts 2:17

We have a dream of the gospel lived out … and that God would use us to do it. We dream that whatever is true in heaven be true on earth … in our local churches, in the communities where our churches serve, and in the family of churches called Evangelical Friends Church-Mid America Yearly Meeting.

We dream of the ethnic participation of our churches and larger gatherings reflecting the ethnic makeup of our communities. What if when we gathered as a church, we saw a vast crowd from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in worship together before the Lamb? What if they held palm branches in their hands, and in unity were shouting with a mighty shout, “Salvation comes from our God on the throne and from the Lamb!” (cf. Rev 7:9-10)

We have a dream of Jesus-followers being known as the most generous and live-giving people in the whole world. A church that is unstoppable, built by Christ, fueled by the Holy Spirit. Believing that what’s impossible to men is possible with God. (cf. Mt 19:26)

We have a dream that we as a family of churches would become known as Friends of sinners, where our churches would become places of forgiveness rather than judgment. What if we shared openly of our own weaknesses and stories of brokenness, and how God’s love and grace is so much greater! What if our neighbors were our friends and not our projects? What if the Word became flesh where we live, and also in the places where our unbelieving neighbors hang out? What if our co-workers and class-mates knew that we loved them as they are rather than as they ‘should be,’ but what if they also joined us side by side in this dream and pursuit of Heaven? (cf. Lk 7:34)

We have a dream of God’s Kingdom coming to heal the sick and the broken. Forgiveness of sins. Redemption. The homeless and hungry knowing that God cares, and has sent friends to help them. Prisoners and orphans and wid- ows and the sick believing that their creator knows their name. Addictions falling away in the power of Jesus’ forgiveness. What if our churches were constantly celebrating recovery? Marriages and families growing stronger. Broken relationships being healed. What if one of God’s children was running the race, and fell, and couldn’t go on without help … and what if we stopped everything else for the sole focus of helping them continue across the finish line? What if we would lay our lives down for our friends? (cf. Jn 15:13)

We have a dream that every local church was actively participating with God in the process of making disciples. What if church culture changed from

maintenance or preservation to multiplication? What if we knew exactly who God was sending us to, and we knew them by name? What if every church made at least one disciple in the next year, starting with non-disciples? (cf. Mt 28:19)

We have a dream that the youth in the church be equipped as disciple-makers. What if every day was like a mission trip? What if adults saw the children and youth of our churches as warriors in the Kingdom, and we walked with them and also sent them out? What if we gave more space for new expressions of the church lived out? (cf. 1 Tim 4:12)

We have a dream that all of the small churches in EFC-MAYM felt truly loved. That big churches felt loved. That medium churches felt loved. What if each and every one of our churches understood clearly how to use the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven? What if every church knew their significance in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth? What if believers and churches worked side by side to accomplish common dreams? What if we served the world around us with no concern about our growth, our reputation, or our benefit, accepting whatever fruit God gives us? (cf. 1 Jn 4:12)

We have a dream, that our properties, personal and corporate, be used 24/7 to bless the community around us, and even be used for community objectives. What if we had no spare rooms in our homes or church buildings? What if we all knew our neighbors across the street, and down the road, and across the tracks and helped them with their needs? What if our churches were like store- houses for ministry? What if God restored the broken and we could hand them the keys to our church vans and even our church buildings? (cf. Mt 25:14-30)

We have a dream that our church would emerge in the neighborhoods where we live. And a deep sense of awe came over them all. What if all the believers lived in wonderful harmony, holding everything in common? And they sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person’s need was met? What if they followed a daily discipline of worship in the temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God? And people in general liked what they saw! What if every day their number grew as God added those who were being saved? (cf. Ac 2:42 -47)

Turn from your brokenness and turn to God, because we have really Good News … the Kingdom of heaven is near! (cf. Mt 4:17).

Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. (cf. Mt 6:9-13)

And we pray this in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Mission Statement

We, the people of Evangelical Friends Church-Mid America Yearly Meeting, have been created by the Father, commissioned by the Son, and consecrated by the Holy Spirit for one holy purpose:

to equip the whole church to take the whole gospel to the whole world

in Jesus’ name.
