UMM is working to implement a new model and vision of men’s ministry. We believe that the result will be men involved in all four areas of focus which will reach the world for Christ. United Methodist Men are responding to the four areas of focus in the following ways:

Engaging in Ministry with the Poor...

  • Training UMM leaders to become advocates and friends of the poor, and eliminate the effects of poverty and racism.
  • Expanding US hunger relief efforts through the Society of Saint Andrew.
  • Supporting children of incarcerated parents through Amachi.
  • Expanding global hunger relief through Stop Hunger Now.

The Rev. Greg Godwin, vice-chair of the Scouting Ministry Committee, presents gifts to Nigeria Area Bishop John Wesley Yohanna. Godwin, a pastor in West Virginia, presented the bishop with a Scout scarf from Philmont Training Center, New Testaments for Scouts at high adventure bases, and Nothing But Nets Scout patches.

Attending his first commission meeting, the bishop said communities in his episcopal area received 10,000 bed nets to protect them against malaria, and he expressed appreciation to Scouts for their role in making the nets available. He also noted that Boy’s and Girl’s Brigade in his nation are closely related to churches.

The commission worked with other denominations to provide 20,000 New Testaments with Psalms to the all four BSA high adventure bases: Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, Northern Tier in Minnesota, the Florida Sea Base and the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. Each edition includes the official grace prayer of the respective high adventure base.
