HUMP EP.036: Hoosier UMC’s at Redbird Mission “Loving out Loud"

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 21:29:35 -0500

The purpose of the Hoosier United Methodist podcast is strengthening the connection in Indiana United Methodist churches in order to achieve the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. In September 2017 five Indiana United Methodist churches converged in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky to put faith in action at the Redbird United Methodist Mission Work Camp. The Redbird United Methodist Mission serves a three county area of southeastern Kentucky in the Appalachian Mountains ravaged by desperate poverty. Redbird Mission provides a school, medical and dental clinics, food clothing and agricultural ministries, a clean drinking water program, and home rehabilitation projects. It was in the home rehabilitation projects where the majority of the efforts of five United Methodist churches from Indiana were involved. Work teams repaired and replaced roofs, painted and repaired porches, kitchens and ceilings at homes which were woefully in disrepair. Moreover, the Indiana teams made personal connections with the homeowners and other residents of the Redbird community sharing stories of life and faith together. Indeed, all the mission teams received just as much benefit from their work week at Redbird as did the residents whom were served. In Episode 36 of the Hoosier United Methodist podcast Dr. Brad is joined by five dedicated laypeople who helped lead their individual church teams to Redbird Mission the week of September 10-16, 2017. Brad's guests included: Mark Van Hook - Greenwood: Honey Creek UMC, Chris Adkins-Portage: First UMC, Dave Osza-Lapel UMC, Bob Youell-Edwardsville UMC, and Doug Brown-Carmel: St. Mark's UMC. These men shared with Brad the stories of how each of their individual churches devoted themselves to a week apart in mission at the Redbird Mission. They shared stories of hope, friendship, sacrificial giving, community development, transformational moments and touching memories of working with the local folk, in particular the homeowners, at the work projects. They shared the power of hands on mission which was embodied by the theme of the work camp experience "Love Out Love" based on 1 John 3:18 “Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” Furthermore, the five church leaders shared the importance of taking the message of transformational missions learned from their Redbird experience back to their home churches and communities. The church leaders are motivated to move beyond looking for reasons why churches can't do things in missions to embracing the attitude of "why not!" Episode 36 of the Hoosier United United Methodist podcast provides great insight, teaching and a challenge to any Indiana United Methodist Church looking to get involved with work camp experiences as a means to recharge their commitment to missions. A sign posted at the Redbird Mission school embodied much of what the five Indiana United Methodist Church experienced in Kentucky and brought back home again to Indiana. The sign stated: “You Have Been Assigned This Mountain, to Show That It Can Be Moved."

This is an area that Gibbs shares comes some concern about inasmuch as to many students arrive at college lacking spiritual depth and religious knowledge. A learning experience that Gibbs oversaw was the integration of Muslim students into the religious life of the University. This is led to some uncomfortably ambiguous encounters where the same worship space was shared by Muslim and Christian students alike which resulted in a gratifying experience of radical hospitality on the parts of students of all faiths.

The first being the ability to move forward in ambiguity and be welcoming to diverse religious perspectives and the second being the great opportunity for leaders to thrive in the church. Gibbs spoke about joining United Methodist Church during some tumultuous times in the denomination but he is moving forward in faith and does not fear any catastrophic shifts in the United Methodist Church. On a personal level Jeremiah shares how he enjoys the diversely and acceptance of the local church, were his wife is the pastor, inasmuch is he is a part of a biracial family and how he enjoys playing guitar and leading worship at the church's contemporary service.
