Last year the Northern Illinois Synod diakonia group had a record
registration after using a new promotional tool. It was a Pizza Box
containing colored Posters, Bulletin Inserts, Brochures and a recruitment
DVD. Program graduates or current students would deliver the Pizza Box
and a real pizza to a church council meeting, show the DVD and explain
the benefits of promoting the program within the church. - Bob S

The diakonia program provides each person the opportunity to discover
their God-given gifts and strengthen their faith and abilities. This can be
the start of new chapter in your life, in which you come alive through
recognizing, nourishing and sharing with others your special God-given
gifts. Embrace these changes in your life and God will take you places
you never dreamed of. - Judy K

My reason for wanting to enroll in the program was very simple; I wanted
to know more… I wanted to learn the things you don’t learn in Sunday
school, Bible studies, etc. I wanted to know the history of the Church
from the beginning of time and how it evolved into the Church today. It
has been a spiritually enriching experience for me. The Diakonia
program is an excellent way of assisting you in your faith journey and
your spiritual life. I recommend it to anyone who wants to know more
about themselves and their faith. You won’t regret it! - Julie L

“The Diakonia program in the
Northern Illinois Synod has been a
wonderful blessing to individuals,
congregations, the synod and indeed
the whole church. I see the fruits of
the program being how it empowers
the participant’s serving at home, in
the neighborhood, at church, at work
and school through the synod and
beyond.”
