IMM is part of a project that is aggressively designed to reach one
billion people with the Good News Gospel in the next 10 years. We
are not alone in this project; rather we are connected with Impact
Ministries and a number of other organizations in this endeavor. To-
gether we are each playing a unique part as we work to reach our
world with Gods goodness.
In 2012 IMM will start a bible school in Costa Rica, using a full one
year bible school curriculum that has been designed for Operation
One Billion. We have the curriculum and hardware in hand and will
let you know when the bible school is up and running.
We expect to repeat this process and plant many bible schools in the
next couple years. We will keep you informed as we progress.
Would you like to participate in this project? You can do so with ei-
ther financial donations or by traveling to a location with us to plant
a bible school. You can currently plant a one year bible school for
$600.00. Or you could join us on a short-term mission trip and play a
major role in planting a Bible school.
Sometimes people think the
only way they can support In
Motion Ministries is to give
money or to pray. But you can
also help us connect with oth-
ers!
Please consider giving in-
formation about In Motion
Ministries to pastors, staff at
Christian schools, friends,
family members and others
who you think would like to
participate in short-term mis-
sions.
IMM can provide you with
printed brochures, e-mail con-
tent or simply direct them to
our Facebook page or website.
We appreciate any effort
you make to help IMM con-
nect with people with whom
you are in relationship. It is About One Thing
I am a bit of a movie buff and often find things in movies that
relate to life. Once in awhile I find something that really sticks
with me and continues to speak to me. Some of you may have
seen the movie “City Slickers”. If you did, do you remember
Curly; the rough, lifelong cowboy who led the city slickers on a
cattle drive? He didn’t talk much, and he kept to himself most of
the time. But he offered this bit of wisdom to one of the city
slickers: life is about one thing – and he held his finger up as he said it.
The city slickers were on this cattle drive because they were in search for
meaning in their lives. Curly’s announcement that life is about one thing
hit a chord with them, because they were looking for meaning and pur-
pose. But what was the one thing? If Curly had an answer they wanted it!
But in the end he made it clear to them that life is about one thing, and
they had to find that one thing for their own life.

WHEN: JULY 5 TO JULY 14, 2012 COST: $1985 PER PERSON (LEAVING FROM Denver, CO) WHO: OPEN TO ALL In Motion Ministries has developed a relationship with missionar-ies that serve the island of Angoon in Alaska. Your team will spend 5 days on this island repairing and painting a missionary house. This house is used as a home for mission teams that come to serve the people of Angoon. Your help is the difference between this home lasting for years to come or it falling into disrepair for good. The winters are fierce on this island and the house will not with-stand another one. You will be part of hosting a meal for the whole community and lead an outreach service for them. You will spend time with kids and students on the beach by a fire, just getting to know them and telling them about Jesus. Your mission adventure in Angoon will leave a lasting impact on you and the community you will serve. Team members will all meet in Juneau on July 5th. You will be in-troduced to the missionary and buy supplies for the week. You will train with IMM’s certified team leader for one day to prepare to serve the people of Angoon. The next day, you will ride the ferry up the inside passage to get to the island. Your team will be staying at a church, so you will need an air mattress, sleeping bag and pil-low! This mission trip will resemble a camping trip in one of the most beautiful places on earth! What a blessing you will be to these people. Although it is beautiful, it is also desolate and lonely. These people need you; they need to experience the love of God that you will bring to them through your actions and your smiles. Free Day—we did not build the cost of your free day into your per person team budget. Alaska offers many great activities that are virtually free or you could take advantage of the amazing experi-ence of a rafting trip up the river near Juneau. This trip takes you right next to the glaciers then through a river with mild rapids. Angoon has incredible fishing opportunities; you can choose to spend some free time fishing off the island, if that is your passion. Wildlife—the trip through the Inside Passage will most likely give everyone the opportunity to see whales and a variety of wildlife. The island of Angoon does have bears that live on it, so you will get to see them without a doubt.

It Is About One Thing Continued from p.1 As a Believer in Christ, what is the one thing for me? I tend to agree
with Curly that the one thing can be different for one person than for
another. But in general, I think we could say that as believers in
Christ our one thing has everything to do with our identity in Christ.
That really is the one thing for me: who Jesus has made me to be. We
should focus on one thing, our identity, rather than on past failures
or successes, what our minds tell us, what the world tells us, what
people tell us, and often even what churches tell us. It really comes
down to one thing, what does the Bible say about who you are be-
cause of what Jesus did for you? That really is the one thing.
As we begin a new year, I encourage you to focus on one thing. Focus
on who you are because of Jesus, and send everything else away! God
loves you. He loves you so much that He gave you His son as your
Savior, as your life, as your one thing.
