Dear fellow
AGK leaders:
As a pastor,
you have probably encountered persons with disabilities and their families in
your congregation. Those that ever walk
in the door are just a fraction of the largest unchurched people group within
the United States.
As our Kansas
ministry network meets this week, I would like to invite all leaders to
participate in a short online survey of what is happening in your congregation.
I want to celebrate the wins with you as well as come along side to strategically
support you. This survey will help Christian
disability ministries develop resources and partnerships to allow you to do the
work of the gospel more effectively in our local communities in Kansas.
Every
credentialed minister will receive a link to the AGK Edition. A different ACMR Supplemental survey is being
sent to our churches. If you receive
both, please complete both.
TECHNICAL NOTE – If you have not received the survey, please check your
spam folder.
For more
information about the survey, or to request a paper copy – feel free to contact
me at survey@abilityed.com or stop by
the Special Touch Disability Ministries Booth.
Thanks again to Pastor Terry Yancey for allowing me to serve the AGK
network this way.
Blessings,
Pastor Marvin

Dear AGK Leaders,
Our son and his wife have three
wonderful boys. The middle boy is severely autistic. Our grandson is almost 11
years old, basically non-verbal, lives with no grasp of social appropriateness,
and no comprehension of the difference in a safe or dangerous environment.
I told you about him today in
hopes it would make this request feel more personal, closer to home.
Our fellow AGK minister, Marvin
Miller, is currently completing his Doctor of Ministry project. His work focuses
on how the church interfaces with individuals with special needs and with the
families that deal with family members with special needs.
Part of the task entails
soliciting information through a survey. I’ve worked through his Beta test
surveys and know from experience that it won’t take but a few minutes to
complete each survey. So, I’m asking (as a personal favor AND with hopes for an
eventual enhancement to our effectiveness as a Network) that you please take a
few minutes and help Marvin complete a project that holds real potential to
bless multiple families and individuals. His research will help discover and
create tools to better reach all local
people and families with all of the
Gospel.
Many thanks!
Pastor Terry Yancey
AGK Superintendent

effective Pentecostal leaders and churches”
