      In August, our 13-year-old grandson, Jefferson, chose to be baptized (photo above). This followed a time of reflection on his part while he was at a summer Christian camp with his church youth group. He made a re-commitment during the camp and later realized he hadn’t taken the important step of publicly declaring his faith […]
    • Bruce Enns sees God’s hand in new role with MB mission agency
      Look back at Bruce Enns’ hockey coaching days and you’d find him on the ice. “I was a player-coach,” he says. “I was on the ice playing and coaching at the same time. You’re not just on the bench or in the stands. You’re actually in the game.” Enns brings a similar leadership approach to […]
    • Preserving unity, pursuing the mission
      Churches are often confronted with tough situations and agonizing decisions. Opinions and preferences clash. Feelings arise. Conflicts emerge, and we struggle to resolve them. We discuss, and sometimes we fight. Often, we leave the discussions frustrated and discouraged. Or we somehow decide something, but we’re not really convinced. So, afterward there is grumbling, or perhaps […]
  • What We Do
    • Church Multiplication
      •  
        Church planting continues to be a crucial area of ministry for USMB. Studies show churches are the most effective way to bring more people into the family of God. Partnering with local churches, districts, USMB and Multiply to plant churches, is not just a good thing to do, we must do it. Click to see more about Church Planting.
    • Disciple-Making
      •  
        USMB is actively involved in helping provide our churches with dynamic ideas, resources and programs for encouraging people to become fully-devoted followers of Jesus. Jesus said, “Go and make disciples….” We strive to facilitate that profound command. Click to see more about Disciple-making.
    • Leadership Development
      •  
        USMB’s leadership development strategy stems from the real need to actively develop more leaders within the local church who are living on mission in the workplace and in their communities and to fulfill the demand for additional pastors, church planters and missionaries.

We will only gather online for the USMB Gathering 2020

Due to the realities and restrictions in place because of the coronavirus, we are canceling USMB Gathering 2020, our biennial National Pastor’s Conference and National Convention.

Although it’s sad that we won’t be together this summer, we know that canceling USMB Gathering 2020 is the best thing to do. When we gather, we love to mingle, hug, shake hands, laugh, sing and worship. All of that would be compromised in some way—no hugs, social distancing of 6 feet and singing with face masks on. All this with the potential that someone might unknowingly be present with COVID-19 and pass that on to others who then take it back home.

In addition, several of our churches have faced financial challenges due to the pandemic and would struggle to send their pastor and delegates. Those who would need to fly might find that experience daunting.

So instead, we‘ll do a few things online via Zoom during the week of July 21-25 when the gathering was to occur—be watching for those announcements.

And praise God that we are united in spirit as we pray for one another and as we share through various means our stories of the exciting and wonderful things God is doing within our MB family—or, more simply, as we increase our impact, together!

USMB Gathering 2020 was scheduled for July 21-25, 2020, at Stoney Creek Hotel and Conference Center in Independence, Missouri. We will issue registration refunds, minus credit card fees, to those who had pre-registered.

Blessings,
