Heartland Church in Sioux City Launches LifeChanger Missions

Many of you have heard about and some of you have even been involved in World Changers. For those who have never heard of it, World Changers was a pre-packaged youth mission adventure that combined learning and using construction skills, connecting with people (usually in a cross cultural context), evangelism, and high-energy worship. It originated with the Brotherhood Commission in 1990, was moved under the umbrella of the North American Mission Board in 1997 with a major SBC restructuring, and then was later picked up by LifeWay. Unfortunately that nationally coordinated ministry has been discontinued.
 
Members of Heartland Community Baptist Church were involved for many years beginning in 2001 when Sioux City hosted its first World Changers. They are excited about establishing a similar ministry called LifeChanger Missions; and Heartland Church Network is pleased to come alongside them to support this impactful ministry. It will be held June 13-19, 2021. Here is a quick overview:
 
      VISION:  Changing lives one house at a time.
 
      MISSION: Training teenagers and college students for Christian missions by transforming the lives of families through           home repair and evangelism.
 
      2021 THEME:  “Answer the Call” Isaiah 6:8-9
 
There are multiple ways you can get involved.
  • Everyone can pray for the event and the leaders in Sioux City: Event Coordinator Pastor Gene Stockton, Project Coordinator Chris Boesch, Construction Coordinator Dave Guggenmos, and Agency Coordinator Bob Scott.
  • Pastors and youth ministers can enlist a team and get registered for the event.
  • If you have construction experience and can work with youth, consider serving as a crew chief or crew encourager.
  • Serve as part of the event staff: office manager, videographer/communications specialist, worship leader or worship team member, worship speaker, or missions engagement liaison.
  • Be a multiplying shadow—work alongside the Event, Project, Construction, or Agency Coordinator for the purpose of leading a LifeChanger Missions event in your community in 2022. If the Lord tarries, over the next few years we would love to see a LifeChanger Missions event in your community.
 
For more information check out the facebook page, Life ChangerMissions. Our Heartland Church Network’s webpage and FaceBook will have information on it shortly.

Since teens work on construction projects, when & how do the evangelism projects work for them?

    Mark is in his twenty-seventh year of serving as an Associational Missions Strategist. He served in western Iowa for almost eight years, and is in his nineteenth year with HCN. He has a passion to see pastors and church leaders grow in their abilities to lead their churches. He continues to have a heart and desire to see new churches planted and God continues to use his strategic thinking skills in this area. Mark also has a wealth of experience in helping churches clarify who God has created them to be, and what they can do best to reach their community. He has had ample opportunities to help churches in times of conflict, and has seen God do exciting things to restore a spirit of harmony, returning churches to a time of fruitfulness. He also helps churches in transition by working with search committees. Mark and Phyllis who were married in November of 2018 have four children and three grandchildren. They will enjoy their combined 87th anniversary in just a few days.
