Help Us Say “You Matter” to Someone Doing Good
Do you know someone who is helping others learn about Jesus and making a big difference? Maybe you know a group or church that is bringing new people to Christ or helping people get baptized for the first time. Has someone helped make our community feel alive and full of hope again?
Now is the time to tell those amazing stories! Let’s celebrate the people and churches who are showing love and helping others grow in their faith. That person could be any age. They could be a church leader or not a pastor at all. They could be a kid, teen, adult, or elder. If they are making a difference, they count. There are two special awards:
- The Wesley Flame Award is for people who try new, brave ideas to help others grow closer to God.
- The One Matters Award is for churches that went from nothing happening to new life, new people, and new beginnings.
Sometimes the best work happens quietly. This is your chance to shine a light on it. Do not assume someone else will do it. You might be the one who helps that person feel encouraged to keep going.
The deadline to nominate someone is March 1.
