Ongoing Ambassadors for Christ
Board of Director’s Meeting
January 10-12, 2003 – Salem Lutheran, Homewood, IL

Board Members present:

The meeting was called to order at 10:00am. The meeting opened with singing and sharing of highlights of 2002 and/or expectations of 2003. Pastor Baumgarn shared a devotion from Matthew 2:1-12. We need to be dedicated and faithful to the Scriptures and listen to what the Lord says to us. He has given us much and we can hear God in the Scriptures.

REPORTS
Secretary's Report - Corrections to the minutes are as follows. The date for the January Meeting should read 9-10. Rachel made the motion to accept the Secretary's report as submitted with corrections. Katie seconded. Motion was carried.

Executive Director's Report - Pastor Moyer shared highlights and challenges for last year and activities he is planning to attend. A copy of his report is included. Pam made the motion to accept the report as submitted. Matt seconded. Motion carried.

Assistant's Report - Dan shared that plans are in place for Summer Training thus far and what still needs to be accomplished before July. A servant event was suggested for Tuesday morning before Summer Training for those groups who may come early. There were concerns that this event would not include sharing the Gospel. It needs to be made clear that the event is not instead of sharing the Gospel but in addition. There needs to be a way to share the Gospel in addition to the work being done. Katie made the motion to accept the Assistant's report as submitted. Rachel seconded. Motion was carried. A copy of the report is included.

Committee Reports
Tax Exempt 501c - Do local groups needs to have a local treasurer? The leaders currently are putting offering money through their personal account. Some groups need funds because of travel expenses. How can those expenses be covered? The committee has no recommendation at this time.

Constitution committee - The Constitution does not officially establish the Board of Directors for OAFC. Pastor Moyer and Pastor Smith presented a proposed change to the Constitution to include the Board of Directors. A copy of the report and changes is included with the minutes. Pastor Moyer made the motion to accept the change to the Constitution, which includes the establishment of the Board of Directors. Rachel seconded. Motion was carried. Pastor Moyer will complete the changes to be reviewed by the Board at the April meeting. There were also concerns the wording of the membership of OAFC is unclear. The committee has no recommendation at this time.

OLD BUSINESS
SALE OF THE VANS
Tim Onnen's church, Faith Lutheran in Branson MO., has offered $2500 for the 1994 Dodge Ram 15-passenger van. Mark made the motion to sell the 1994 Dodge Ram van to Faith Lutheran church in Branson MO for $2500 upon approval by the Church council at Faith Lutheran. Pastor Smith seconded. Motion carried.

Pastor McIntyre has previously expressed interest in purchasing the 1998 Dodge Ram 15 passenger van. The offer Pastor McIntyre presented to us was 3 payments to OAFC; Oct. 20 2002 $5000, Jan. 20,2003 $5000, March 2003 $2000. Since this agreement, Pastor McIntyre has decided not to purchase the van and it will be returned to OAFC to be resold. It is the decision of the Board to pick the van up from Pastor McIntyre by the end of February 2003 if it has not been returned prior to that date.

Summer Training 2001 Incident - The Board was given a follow-up report to this incident.

A follow-up report was given in regards to the Leadership issues discussed with the Board at previous meetings.

Crier - It has been suggested we change the format. It is available to view on the Web page. Last year, there were 2 issues of the Crier. Dan will look into other options for formatting and postage of the Crier. He will research being able to print it in at the office verses sending it to a print shop.

New Years Gatherings 2003
Denver, CO gathering - 33 prospects were discovered from the afternoon canvass. No problems were reported. Comments have been positive from youth and Adults. Fort Wayne, IN Gathering - Positive comments was received about this gathering. It was suggested that any group that will host a New Years Gathering should have their information to the office by Summer Training. The office can then include information on the Web page and on the National Schedule.

Commissioning Levels
The Board discussed dropping or retaining the commissioning levels. The Board received 5 letters in response to this topic. It would seem the majority of the feed back from Ambassadors nationally, either by letter or through Board Members, is not in favor of the levels and does not use the levels of Commissioning. Pastor Moyer made the motion to drop the commissioning levels from the National forms but allow local Directors to use the levels in their local groups to encourage growth. Pastor Smith seconded. Motion withdrawn.
Pastor Moyer made the motion: 

Whereas the level of commissioning were established to encourage and challenge Ambassadors to grow in their faith and witnessing skills; and Whereas the levels of commissioning have not accomplished their intended purpose in many groups, according to the vast majority of the feedback received by the board of Directors, but have created confusion ad invited harmful comparisons; and Whereas the levels of commissioning are not emphasized or recorded in many groups; Therefore be it resolved that the levels of commissioning no longer be observed on the National level and Be it further resolved that our Directors and Adult leaders be commended as they diligently equip more and more youth with the Word of God that gives the absolute certainty of eternal life and Be it finally resolved that our youth continue to be encouraged, challenged and motivated with the message of the Gospel of what Christ has done for them so that they are eager to tell others. Pam seconded. Motion was carried.

OAFC Songbook Discussion was held on the reproduction of the Songbook and available funds to reproduce the books at this time. It was recommended we wait until after Summer Training 2003 to see the status of our supply and discuss it at the Fall 2003 meeting.

Another book of Acts - It was recommended to not reprint the Drama book at this time.

OAFC Scorebook - Our supply will meet our needs until July 2004 so there is no need to look into printing additional copies

Youth Leadership Manuals - It was discussed to distribute the Youth Leadership Manual before one is commissioned, as the printed word is a valuable teaching tool for youth leadership.

Review of Travel Team

• One concern shared was the distance between stops of a travel team. If we are trying to start a new group, we should concentrate on 1 area and each stop should encourage youth to attend the upcoming weekend for the purpose of training. If stops and/or weekends are too far apart, youth are less likely to attend a weekend for additional training. Efforts are made to do this but many times there are not congregations willing to host. Stops are set up where the invitation is open.
• Another concern was the communication between the Team Leader and the Travel Team stops. Some congregations seemed unclear why the team is stopping at their church. The initial contact needs to include why we will be stopping at their congregation and Team Leaders can follow-up when contacting the Church to be sure it is clear why we are stopping.
• Also, a Team Leader needs to be prepared with as much information as to what is expected on a Travel Team to promote the organization and cultivate a new group. Each Team Leader is given a manual before going on a Travel Team. God will do his work through every situation. We can not limit Him and every effort will be made to prepare a Team before going out.

NEW BUSINESS
Letter of resignation from Billy Witcher was acknowledge and accepted by the Board. Nominations to fill the vacancy for Male Adult are as follows; Ed Allen, Ed Steele, Micah Wildauer, Sean Miller, Jack Hoenig, Orval Peters, and Tom Clark. Trey made the motion to close nominations. Katie seconded. Motion carried. Micah Wildauer was appointed to fill the Adult Male Board position to end in July 2004. Micah Wildauer was contacted by phone during the meeting and he has accepted the appointment.

Nominations for the Board

SUMMER TRAINING
Theme - Isaiah 42:6 "Held in His hand…as a light to the Nations"
II Corinthians 4:8-9 "Beaten but not broken"
Mark 4:41 "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey Him"
Irene made the motion to have the Theme for Summer Training 2003 "Held in His hand…as a light to the Nations". Matt seconded. Motion was carried. The Bible text for the theme is Isaiah 42:6.
Schedule - Dan suggests we schedule 1 hour of quiet time/Time with God for all participants at the same time. Office would be closed and no phone calls made during this time so as to keep our focus on God and to be the example for other youth since many adults use this time to do business. He also recommends the workshop times be broken up so we do not have 3 sessions back to back.
Recreation night will be at the Beach. A guideline sheet will be given to all participants so all are clear on the beach rules and where they can go.
Orientation for Tuesday needs to be assigned prior to Summer Training.
Family Night should include not only youth but also any congregation member or family who would like to attend. There was discussion on whether we should continue to have Family Night since we are already asking so much of the Congregations. Pastor Moyer made the motion to continue to offer Family Night and to offer other options if a Congregation is unable to do this. Katie seconded. Motion carried.
Main Speaker Themes - Possible topic have been suggested by our Keynote Speaker
"New Horizons"
"Jesus-Legend or Lord"
"History/Archeology/Christianity"
"Jesus what else do we know"
"The ready reply"
Dr. Paul Maier will be given the Theme for Summer Training to allow him to decide what he will speak on.
Workshops - Relationships, People of the Book-Ministry to the Muslims, Lutherans for life. Being a Pastor, Song Writing, Jim Found, Using Computers/Internet for outreach. Guitar workshops (1 each session), Healthy Living, It was suggested that experienced guitar workshops be held along with new OAFC workshops. This will provide time for the lead and intermediate guitars player to get together while not missing workshops they want to attend. Later in the week, we can have a beginner guitar workshop.
Discipline - It was discussed that Public Display of Affection needs to be discouraged by every adult at the local weekends as well as regional and National events. If we are showing our affections to each other, we are not focused on God and spreading the Gospel, which is where our focus needs to be at OAFC events. These displays can also make other feel uncomfortable. This needs to be shared at the Adult orientation so all adults can help to "police" this behavior.

The Board also addressed the issue of Dress Code. We need to include in the Dress Code no bare mid-riffs, resulting from low riding pants or short shirts. Local Directors need to address this before the group leaves for Summer Training and include what is appropriate and what is not appropriate to wear while at Summer Training. It was suggested the office bring along any extra OAFC t-shirts for violators of the Dress Code to wear for the day. It was also suggested that Adult men help to "police" the male participants and the Adult Women "police" the female participants to avoid possible uncomfortable situations.

Travel Teams
Leaders - Pastor Moyer, Micah Wildauer have agreed to lead. Other men who have been contacted are Kevin Wudtke and Ben Venteicher.
Destinations - Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York

Material Review - Chris Steele suggested we create a postcard promoting OAFC to be used at Summer Training to send to family and friends and to use locally to invite/inform others about OAFC. It was suggested to have Chris Steele give us sample cards to present to the Board of Directors at the next meeting. Dan Barz said he would contact her to see her interest in creating this.

Leadership Manuals - Pastor Moyer and Dan Barz are in the process of updated the Director's manual. They will have copies for the Board to view before the April meeting.

Assurance of Heaven Tract
Ed Allen and Pastor David Baumgarn have presented some possible upgrades for the tract.
It was discussed that we don't want our tract to be more "eye-catching" than a church's tract. We also do not want it to be costly to reproduce. Many like the pink color because you can see the tract from the street. The message in the tract should not change but the graphics are out of date. Ed Allen has submitted a request to Thrivent for a Grant to cover the cost of reproducing the tract. The Board agrees that we would like to keep the pink color and the text.
Rachel made the motion to take the 2-color pamphlet, update the font and graphics of the entire tract and print it on pink paper. Pam seconded. Motion carried.
Ed will be contacted by Pastor Moyer to find his willingness in this task. Corrections that need to be made are as follows:
Change the graphic and update the font on the front.

• Inside, left side, capitalize the word Repent
• Back, middle section, change "To keep your assurance daily" to "To feed your Faith"
• Back, middle section, change the typing of "OnGoing" to "Ongoing"
• Back, middle section, make the name and contact information for OAFC smaller to allow a space for the Church information.

Web Page - Ed Allen and Dan Barz continue to maintain the Website. The Crier is posted on-line. Ambassadors can send in pictures to be posted on the Web Page. We have been invited to view Pastor Schlote's daily Bible Study page.

Bulletin Insert - This currently gives statistics for the previous year and the statistics over the 32 years the organization has been in existence. It includes ways individuals can support OAFC and it has Ambassador Youth and Adults sharing a brief highlight for them in OAFC. These are updated each year and available at Summer Training for local groups to obtain and use at local weekends.

T-shirts - Shirts for Travel Teams 2003 were discussed. Color suggestions are bright blue, neon pink, teal green.

Funding - Thrivent Simply Giving program has been looked into by Pastor Moyer. Thrivent would set up an automatic giving program for OAFC. Individuals can have Thrivent electronically withdraw money from and individual account that goes directly to OAFC. Pastor Moyer made the motion we set up an account with Thrivent to receive gifts via electronic funds transfer and to be reviewed at the April meeting. Irene seconded. 1 abstained. Motion carried.

Budget
· Irene made the motion that OAFC continue to pay Concordia Health plans for Pastor Ruhlig. Katie seconded. Motion carried.
· The board discussed continuing to pay the Utilities for the Office in the basement of the Ruhlig house in Athens. Trey made the motion that OAFC pay $900 for Utilities. Rachel Seconded. Motion carried.
· The Board discussed changing the telephone amount to $3000 to cover a second phone in the Assistant's home office.
Matt made the motion to approve the 2003 Budget for OAFC as amended. Rachel seconded. Motion carried. The approved total for the 2003 Budget is $123,499.00

Ruhlig House - Katie made the motion that we allow the Ruhlig's to pay $5000 in 2003, rather than the balance and the balance to be paid in 2004. Rachel seconded. Motion carried.

The next Board Meeting will be held on Sunday, April 6, 2003 8pm via teleconference.

Pam made the motion to adjourn the meeting. Rachel seconded. Motion carried.
Meeting was adjourned at 2pm, closed with prayer and the singing of the Doxology.

Submitted in His Service,
Pam Rudick - Secretary

SUMMER TRAINING

TRAVEL TEAMS
2003 - We have openings in the East coast. I would also like to see one or more teams visit churches in Michigan and possibly head into Canada (Eastern Ontario) for a few days. Perhaps in 2003 many groups will be able to make stops on their way home - at least for a night or two if not completing their trips with a weekend on July 18-20. I hope that groups could use some Michigan or North Indiana churches for a stop on Monday July 7.

College Spring Break Teams - Openings in San Antonio, TX and Wichita, KS provides weekends for a team from Concordia, Seward March 7-16, 2003. We hope that Ben Venteicher will lead this team. A request for OAFC from Winder, Georgia provides a destination for a team from Concordia, Mequon March 14-23. They will start by joining the Charlotte, Michigan weekend. I will lead this team. Both teams will be making stops at Lutheran high schools and some grade schools along with evening stops at churches.

THE OAFC CRIER
Just two editions of the Crier were printed in 2002. While at the office we looked through older editions and noted that at one time the Crier was printed on 11 X 17 stock. I have also prepared a web version, which we would like to see updated each month.

Weekend Reports
All weekend reports are now sent to me by Pastor Ruhlig after he deposits offerings and takes the prayer supporters list. The spread sheet on the weekend statistics is now maintained by me. While we are missing reports from several groups we can thank God for the many weekends reported (84 as this is written) and fine offerings received this past year. Statistics are posted on our web site.

Significant events in 2002

• Chapels at Mequon, Seward, and Luther East - Lincoln, IL
• Weekends at Holland, MI - Jan.; Mequon, WI - Feb.; Danville, IL - March; Hudsonville, MI - March; Caledonia, MI - April, North Judson, IN - Aug.; Paw Paw, MI - Sept.; Coloma, MI - October. Weekends in February, May and November were postponed. A local Servant Event was held in June.
• Meetings with Circuit Pastors of SW Michigan and NW Indiana; Seward Ambassadors, Youth Leaders and Pastors of San Antonio.
• Worked with Ed Allen on Web page. Many added features including Crier Page, Statistics page, Alumni survey on Alumni Page, and a weekly Prayer and Praise Page.
• Assisted with Presentations at Indiana Youth Gathering in November.
• Gave OAFC Presence at LEA Convocation in Minnesota.
• Continuing to enjoy contacts with people from all over the country and especially in Michigan and Indiana.
• Have received 10 Alumni reports from web page and fall Crier.

Blessings for 2003

• Local schedule filled through August and good openings for the fall.
• Serving OAFC full-time.
• Living in current location.
• Summer Training Hosts

Prayers for 2003

• Summer Training in a location where OAFC does not have a strong presence.
• Necessary Coordinators for ST
• Additional Adult Leaders for SW Michigan and NW Michigan
• That many interested Youth will return for second weekends.
• Appropriate tasks for Assistant in August - December

Wish List for OAFC Ministry

• Computer Projector for Power Point and other presentations $1300 +
• Laptop for traveling presentations - (Does not need to be new but must be compatible with office computer and have Word and Power Point)
• Cell Phone with National Plan - I will bring information concerning this.
