Michael Carroll will update us on the Perspectives Ministries.
God has a unique role for each Christian in His global purpose of evangelizing the nations.
Perspectives isn’t a course solely about world missions. It’s a study program rooted in Scripture, clarifying each believer’s remarkable opportunity to join God in His global purpose.
God delights when His people respond to His invitation to be a blessing to all peoples of the earth.
Michael Carroll emailed me the following:
I’ve recently been added to the Kansas City area as the Area Team Leader for Perspectives. I had the privilege of being able to take the class for the first time in 2022, and now am excited to be able to walk alongside with others what I experienced. I am a member of the church, Cross Fellowship in Overland Park, Kansas, where much of my time is spent with the other members. I would love for the opportunity to serve the Lord overseas one day in the mission field if that opportunity ever arose, but for now I enjoy playing whatever part I can in serving in God’s global mission for His Glory, and trying to encourage others to do the same.

With a desire to serve children both nationally and around the world, a Moundville couple began a ministry that provides colorful soccer balls and other items to churches or other groups and individuals ministering to children, whether in the United States or in other countries.
Mike and Betty Morris worked with the Children Evangelism Fellowship for 20 years before they followed a new vision in 2004, which led to their finding of the Children’s Evangelistic Ministries, Inc., which in the past decade has led to their colorful, Energia items being spread to more than 125 countries.
After using the “Wordless Book,” which uses the colors of black, red, white, yellow, and green to tell the story of Jesus, Morris said he began to envision using those colors on soccer balls to be given to children.
“The Lord gave me the idea and it’s expanded into several products,” Morris said.
What started with about a dozen black and white soccer balls that Morris covered with colored vinyl has expanded into about 35,000 soccer balls being distributed, as well as further products such as bracelets, footballs, basketballs and key chains, which can be used in sharing the story of Jesus Christ with children while also providing toys for them.
When their first shipment of 500 soccer balls arrived, Betty said they and others prayed that 100 people would hear and accept the story of Jesus with every soccer ball they sent out. That prayer has been answered over the years as churches, organizations and individuals use the Energia products, named after the Spanish word for power, around the world.
Morris said they run their ministry out of their home, referring to their dining table as their office, selling the resources or donating them when they are able. He and his wife live on a farm where they own cattle and also remain active in the community, with Betty serving as the financial secretary to the First Christian Church.
“That’s enough to keep me as busy as I’d like to be,” Morris said, but added he enjoys the work, although he has not been able to do as much traveling recently due to heart trouble, which has led to four heart attacks and seven stints.
But even in those situations, Morris said he has been able to make contact with others through their ministry, such as a medic who was also a pastor and eventually used some of Morris’ Energia products on an international trip.
Those products have made their way into dentists’ offices and other businesses locally as well as internationally, being placed into the hands of the mayor of Bethlehem, Israel, with young adults involved in soccer tournaments, and children in Brazil, India, Korea, Russia and numerous other countries.
“You just never know one day to the next who you’re going to meet,” Morris said. “It’s just amazing what the Lord’s done. It’s by His grace that we’re able to do what we’ve done.”
On a regular basis, Morris said he receives emails or letters from adults and children who have used the Energia products on international trips or more locally.
“Meeting new people.. . . is about the greatest joy I have,” Morris said, saying he enjoys making contacts around the world and serving children through the products, which have earned him the nickname “soccer ball man.”
