1. That a Mission (Stewardship Education) Committee be created or revived in each area of the region. The Committee's responsibilities will be two-fold:

b. To interpret American Baptist Church objectives and to encourage the maximum financial commitment from each church.

It is further recommended that the members of the Regional Mission Committee serve as Chairperson (or Co-Chairperson) of the Area Committee. Additional members may be Area Moderators and ONE representative from each local church as selected by their Pastor.

2. That area and national persons who have expertise in Mission/Stewardship Education be identified and deputized as resource personnel across the region. Area Moderators and the Region Mission Committee will identify and recommend these persons to the Executive Minister.

3. That all Area Meetings have a Mission/Stewardship Education Program/Promotion during the Annual Session. We also recommend that Mission/Stewardship Education and Promotion be included in the program of each Annual Session. The Minister of Mission Support will conduct a workshop(s) that focus on new resources and strategies that can be implemented on the local level.
