Our World

Just as we connect with our local neighborhood, so we are connected to our larger national and world community. By providing hands-on and fundraising support, we continue the Methodist mission of empowering those in need, taking a stance and putting our faith into action.

• Child's Fund International
  Empowering over 15 million children and their families by creating global communities that allow them not only to survive, but thrive in a nurturing and locally-supported environment.
  
  
  • Kiev Street Children’s Ministry — provides meals, clothing, healthcare, education life-skills training and Bible study
    
    
  • Sudan Shalom Zone — supporting children in Sudan who have been orphaned by the war and HIV/AIDS
    
    
  • Alaska Children’s Services — sharing Christ’s love and hope with severely disturbed children in a residential treatment center
    
    
  • McCurdy School, NM — providing financial and general support for young people striving to be Christian leaders in impoverished communities.
    
    
• Individual Global Missionaries
  Clara Mridula Biswas, Cambodia
  
  Clara is a missionary of the General Board of Global Ministries assigned as a community worker in Cambodia. She works to improve the lives of impoverished children in Phnom Pehn, many of whom are homeless and live in the streets. 

• United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) 
Ministries that respond to disasters, fight hunger, alleviate poverty, provide relief supplies around the world, and offer hospitality to immigrants and refugees. 

 Haiti - What originally started as support to hurricane survivors, has refocused to provide emergency relief and development programs to those affected by the 2010 earthquake. In addition to donations, we participate with the greater UMC and our communities to collect items for health kits.

Donations collected once a year through “One Great Hour of Sharing” pays for all administrative costs, allowing 100% of every additional dollar to go directly to the designated mission.
