Introducing Deacon Candidate
John Meskis
|
On June 13, Missio Dei Church will be ordaining our first deacons. Deacons within Missio Dei Church are servant-leaders recognized for their service, their leadership, and their character. They must meet the requirements of 1 Timothy 3:8-13 and they must be functionally serving as a leader in the ministry area for which they have been called.
The three candidates (John Meskis, Todd Paben and Emily Schissler) have gone through extensive training. The deacon process is designed to
provide uniformity as to how Missio Dei calls, equips, and releases its
leaders.
For the next three Sundays, you are going to be hearing each of their Gospel stories and why they feel lead to be a deacon for the Missio Dei Family. I believe that we have three godly deacon candidates who recognize their inadequacies but are deeply relying on the Gospel as they live lives that are fully pleasing to God, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in their knowledge of God!
This Sunday, you will have the privilege to hear John Meskis' testimony and why he feels lead to serve as the Deacon of the Road Crew. I am strongly encouraging you to be there to hear how God has been and continues to work in his life for the glory of God!
