Special Mission of the Month
January and February Mission - Hayes Elementary School Fridley
Matthew 19: 14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”​
​
Hayes has been selected to receive ongoing help in ways that can be impactful for staff and students and in return, our faith community through the relationships we will build. These are the concerns Hayes, students, staff, and faculty are experiencing and ways Fridley can minister and be supportive.

MISSIONARY SUPPORT
We will be supporting a new missionary, Rev. J. Park.
Rev. J. Park is a United Methodist missionary serving as the Country Director of the Southeast Asia Mission Initiative, based in Ho Chi Minh City. Rev. Park felt a call to ministry early in his life and has served as a pastor for 20 years, including starting multiple church plants. His family came to the Christian faith through Methodist missionaries in Korea which inspired many of his family members to become pastors and missionaries. His wife, T. Park, is also a missionary. They are excited and happy to serve in Southeast Asia and hope to spread the Christian message in that part of the world. The Minnesota Conference has a partnership with the Parks, and we can look forward to hearing more about them in the future.
