New Mission Agency Finally Has a Name

Dear Friends and Family:

Many of you know that Zach has been appointed to be the first director of the "New Mission Agency," the combining of Christian Reformed Home Missions and World Missions.  This decision has to ratified by the Synod of the Christian Reformed Church which is meeting in a few weeks in Palos Heights, Illinois (near Chicago).  There has been another major development in the New Mission Agency--a name has been chosen by various boards of the CRC.  The New Mission Agency of the CRC will be called Resonate Global Mission (http://network.crcna.org/global-mission/new-mission-agency-behind-new-name).  Like Zach's candidacy, the new name needs to be ratified by Synod as well.  As you can imagine, this is a time of great excitement and anxiety among the missionaries and staff of the New Mission Agency.  Please pray that God will guide the mission ministry of the CRC both domestically and around the world.  Zach will be participating in Synod beginning June 9.  The ratification of both Zach as director and the new name will happen on Wednesday, June 14, Lord willing.  Please pray that God will give Zach the right words to encourage the CRC and promote the vision of mission that God is developing in the New Mission Agency.   Most of all, please pray that God will guide the mission ministry of the CRC both domestically and around the world.
