Jeremiah 29 Initiative

Are you looking for a focus in 2021? Try the Jeremiah 29 initiative. The initiative was developed in the summer of 2020 after it became clear that the pandemic would persist.

During the exile, Jeremiah instructed God’s people to build, plant, and pray. How do we do this? We emphasize daily Bible reading and prayer and focus upon our families and community. To help with this we developed several tools. Each component includes a graphic that provides an overview of a particular topic such as developing a quiet time or starting a spiritual conversation. Blogs provide more information about the topic. And, if you would rather watch than read about the topic, we have included videos for you. Graphics, blogs, and videos walk participants through the process. These resources can be used to guide Bible studies.

Focus on Your Community

The last element of the initiative is to focus on reaching our community. We begin by looking at how to minister to people in our church, followed by ministering to children with special needs, and finally how to start spiritual conversations with others.
