Christmas Is Whose Birthday?
A few years ago, Pastor Mike Slaughter of the
Ginghamsburg United Methodist Church in Tipp
City, Ohio, challenged the congregation to
remember in their gift-making that Christmas
celebrates Jesus' birthday. "Christmas in Not
Your Birthday!" became a slogan in one of the
most remarkable examples of Christian compassion
and care in the contemporary church.

The Word that Breaks our Codes Christmas Day, December 25, 2008
I grew up in the US speaking English. At 56, I’ve
now also been speaking Spanish for the past 20
years. I still find it magical. It isn’t that I
believe what my Spanish teacher said about
Spanish being God’s language. Nor does it feel
magical because I learned to speak it as if by
magic. I did not.

The Presence of Grace and Peace Christmas Eve, December 24, 2008
A man sat on a log at the edge of the washed-out
hillside.
A few hours earlier, heavy rains on the
deforested hilltop had become a tidal wave of
mud
washing everything in its path into the river
below. Hundreds of houses were lost. No one knew
how many people had escaped and how many were
buried in the mud.

Hallelujah Moment from Nicaragua
Encountering God in the Midst of a Crisis
Each day I am challenged to live out my faith.
I arrived in Waspam, Nicaragua in October 2007,
about a month after Hurricane Felix hit. This
community of 6,000 people is on the Coco River,
which forms the border of southern Honduras and
northern Nicaragua. Most residents are Miskito,
an indigenous people who have populated the
region for centuries.

Gospel Seeds & Mission Harvests
The sowing of the gospel in the hearts and minds
of the Latino peoples has born bountiful fruit
that will nourish the future church in the
Western Hemisphere. The mission witness of the
British Methodists in the Caribbean and of the
United Methodists throughout the Latin American
and Caribbean region, as well as parts of the
United States, has been faithful to Wesley’s
vision of the whole world as one parish.

Hallelujah Moment From Honduras
"Go to school!"
Living in the poverty of the small village of
Talanga, a valley nestled between the mountains
of Honduras, a young mother of six growing
children had never aspired to anything beyond the
life she now experienced with her family.
Dulcibella left school at the age of 12, later
married and began raising a family. It was not
uncommon for the people of her village to leave
school at such an early age and join the daily
struggle for survival.

Volunteers in Mission Provide Medical Help in Panama
In rural Panama, hundreds of men, women and
children have come to see a doctor. It is an
opportunity that only comes around at certain
times of the year when medical mission teams
visit Chiriqui.
This is a remote mountain area, 10 hours from the
nearest hospital. Many of the patients belong to
the indigenous Ngöbe population.

'Encounter with Christ' in Latin America and Caribbean
A desire to shift more decision-making about
mission in Latin America to Methodist churches in
the region has led to the successful development
of a permanent fund to support projects in those
countries.
The Encounter with Christ in Latin America and
the Caribbean Permanent Fund, administered by the
United Methodist General Board of Global
Ministries, uses the interest from nearly $1.5
million in principal to finance the projects.

Missionary Minute:
August 20, 2006
When people let God into their lives and into
their relationships with each other,
transformation begins.
Two years ago, I witnessed a little girl’s death
from malnutrition. And although that was very
sad, I also saw how God intervened and saved the
girl’s sister from the same fate. She is alive
and well today. That’s transformation!

UMCOR Responds to Hurricane Stan, Volcanic Eruption in Central America
Days of unrelenting rains spawned by Hurricane
Stan caused massive flooding and mudslides in
Guatemala, Mexico, and El Salvador. More than a
thousand are feared dead in Guatemala alone.
This devastating loss is in addition to
destroyed roads, homes, crops, and livestock.
The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)
is currently assessing the situation to
determine the most effective long-term response
to this tragedy.

people in one village in Guatemala, according to
press reports. Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador,

Responsively Yours: Rules of War, Prayers for Peace Response Magazine July-August issue
Torture is wrong. In 1982 the late John Paul II said, “The memory of
Jesus stripped naked, beaten, derided, nailed to the cross” should
make all Christians “reject, spontaneously and absolutely, any
recourse to such means which nothing on earth can justify and
which destroy the dignity of both the tortured and the torturer.”

UMCOR Hotline, April 26, 2005
Health kits and school kits top UMCOR's wish list
right now, and some generous donors are
responding. In Liberia, UMCOR is partnering with
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to
train displaced persons. With the UN grant,
women and children in a camp managed by UMCOR
will learn how to read and write. In addition to
literacy classes, the grant will also support
agriculture training. Monday, June 20, 2005 is
World Refugee Day, an international day of
remembrance and recognition.

Staying the Course in "Mega-Disaster" Rehabilitation
How well do relief operations follow through with
rehabilitation after "mega-disasters" such as the
earthquake and tsunamis that swept the Indian
Ocean on December 26? "In big, complex recoveries
from mega-disasters, UMCOR plans to be in place
for a long time-- for years," said the Rev.
Kristin Sachen of the United Methodist Committee
on Relief (UMCOR).

Building a Better World, One Sip at a Time: A Sermon for Fair Trade Sunday
One day "Right will dwell in the desert and
justice will abide in the orchard. Justice will
bring about peace; and right will produce calm and
security. My people will live in peaceful country,
in secure dwellings and quiet resting places."
These words spoken through the prophet Isaiah,
describe God's vision of a new world community; a
community to be constructed, brick by brick,
through loving acts of mercy and compassion like
the ones demonstrated by the Good Samaritan in our
scripture lesson.
