LEGACY BUILDERS
WHAT IS A LEGACY BUILDER?The category of Legacy Builders was introduced at the 2005 National Gathering of UM Men at Purdue University. The first $45 of your annual Legacy pledge pays for your EMS membership. As you move from EMS member to Legacy Builder, your financial gift provides not only for existing ministries but enables us to fund new initiatives.
CLOSE TO HOME AND BUILDING A FUTURE A portion of your Legacy Builders gift is invested in men’s ministries in your annual conference while any contribution over $120 is invested in the UMM Foundation.
WHAT ARE SOME PROJECTS SUPPORTED BY LEGACY?
LEADER TRAININGUnited Methodist Men conduct training for conference and district leaders. We also develop curriculum and training for Men’s Ministry Specialists. These men assist local congregations to become more effective in reaching men and growing men spiritually.
WESLEYAN BAND OF BROTHERSMen are invited to grow in Christ together in Wesleyan Band of Brothers. They become men whose faith is reproduced in others as they mature as spiritual fathers. Some men serve their local congregations and pastors in men’s ministry teams.
RETREATS AND EVENTSSpiritually enriching growth experiences are offered to men through retreats and events held nationwide.
SCOUTINGThe United Methodist Church is the second largest charter organization of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) with 324,000 youth meeting in 10,000 units in 6,700 churches. The Office of Scouting Ministrries annually provides several thousand New Testaments
to four BSA high adventure bases. Other youth
ministries supported include Big Brothers Big Sisters, Girl Scouts of the USA, and Camp Fire.
THE SOCIETY OF ST. ANDREWThe society annually leads 9,000 volunteers into farmers’ fields to pick up more than 3.7 million pounds of food for America’s hungry. In 1989, United Methodist Men started the Meals for Millions mission project as a fund raising mechanism for the Society of St. Andrew’s Potato Project. Through this effort, United Methodist men have fed literally millions of people over the years. In 1997, the focus of Meals for Millions was changed to provide funding for the Hunger Relief Advocate (HRA) Initiative.
THE UPPER ROOM PRAYER LINEA toll-free line receives some 36,000 calls a month. A network of over 1,000 volunteers answers prayer requests in more than 300 covenant prayer groups around the world. “I thank God for the faithfulness of men of God like those in our UM Men connection,” said Migdiel Pérez, manager of the prayer center.
MINISTRY TO CHILDREN OF INCARCERATED PARENTSA partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America matches United Methodist men with youth whose parent(s) are incarcerated. The organization is located in 5,000 communities around the country. The commission offers this ministry in several annual conferences.
STRENGTH FOR SERVICE INC.SFS sends copies of an updated World War II book of daily devotions, to troops deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan and many
other locations.
Over 530,000 copies of the pocket sized book have been sent to members of our armed forces and other public service personnel.
