March & April 2016
Partner with Us!
—NEW BUILDING: it’s very likely that we will be moving into a new building June 15th. Be on the lookout for a list of equipment, renovation work and moving help that will be needed to make this transition positive for Ethnos. Join us in praying for the city to approve our lease so we can move in June!
—Grant Writer: If you have experience writing grants or can connect us with someone who has, please contact us. Ethnos is a mission church and we need to be creative with finding financial resources in order to pursue our mission to this city.
—Non-Profit Organization Director: We are looking for someone who would like to serve as director of our mission, Antioch International Center, which we plan to open Fall 2016.

- PRAYER
- Would your church organize prayer teams to be praying over each of our events this summer? It would be wonderful to have teams praying before, during and after each event. The spiritual battle is fierce in Milwaukee, and we need all the covering we can get!
- OTHER OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES
- Basketball – there is a popular basketball court in Carver Park where many young men spend time throughout the summer. Can your church put together a small group of men who could regularly go and play alongside these guys and build relationships with them?
- Kids/Families – We are looking for small groups of people who would plan simple events for the children in Hillside once a week throughout the summer. We want to build relationships with the families in Hillside. And a regular presence of Ethnos and its partners will help us accomplish that.
- Ideas: Bubbles and Sidewalk Chalk with a Bible Story, Face Painting with a Bible Story, Jump ropes & Bozo buckets (with prizes) and a Bible Story…
- Tour of Milwaukee – This is an opportunity to connect young international students to the city of Milwaukee! There will be more information coming as summer approaches.
