Worship Reflection: Disciples Health and Social Service Ministries

A late-October gathering of representatives from more than 30 Disciples-related health and social service ministries made history as the first joint endeavor of its kind between The National Benevolent Association (NBA) and Disciples Home Missions (DHM). During morning worship, Rev. Elaine Sanford, Executive Director of HER Faith Ministries, shared a meaningful worship reflection.

“We wanted to bring together social service advocates and care providers to learn how to better leverage the impact of these ministries by connecting them with one another,” said Mark Anderson, who leads the 126-year-old NBA.

“These care-focused ministries are providing direct care on behalf and with Disciples every day,” said Rev. Ron Degges, DHM president. “We believe connecting them will help further empower their ministries. What a blessing for everyone involved if we could help their mission increase!”
