Saving Lives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Disheveled children of every age and size
crowded around our vehicle as it ground to a
stop in front of the United Methodist Mpasa
Reference Health Center in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. It was in this sprawling
suburb of Kinshasa, DR Congo, that I was to
assess health facilities for the Central Congo
Conference. Dr. Rebecca Yohadi, the conference's
Chief Medical Officer, told me that the Mpasa
suburb sprang up in 1998 near a military
installation as a camp for displaced persons and
refugees.

Hallelujah Moment from Mozambique: Baby No Name
The cry of a baby was heard in the village of
Ilha Inamisengo, Mozambique. A new life was
born. The joy of childbirth, however, soon gave
way to heartbreak. Both mother and baby were
very sick and the baby was not expected to
survive.

Circles to Break the Poverty Cycle
At age 32, Sonia Holycross has "been there,
done that"--lived in a broken home, joined a
gang. But through the Circles™ Campaign,*
Holycross, a single parent
of five and now an Americorps volunteer, has
patched her life together, becoming stronger in
the broken places. "The Circles Campaign is like
mending a broken foundation with fresh cement,"
Holycross says.

Finding the Road
The road out of poverty is not always obvious or
well-marked. As our cover story points out,
sometimes the road out isn't even a road, it's a
runway. The story of missionary pilots, Gaston
Ntambo, Jacques Umembudi, and Rukang Chicomb of
the Democratic Republic of the Congo,
illustrates
the church's will to empower individuals and
communities to grow in their knowledge and skill
as well as in their faith

Fast Today and Change Tomorrow
In 2007, Bishop Sudarshana Devadhar of the
Greater New Jersey Annual Conference contacted
The Advance office looking for a new way to
connect the youth of Greater New Jersey Annual
Conference to The Advance, the denomination's
giving channel dedicated to mission. Two years
later, the response to the bishop's request can
be symbolized by a letter and number, "B1."

Breaking the Cycle of Malaria and Poverty
Malaria kills. It kills a child every 30 seconds
in sub-Saharan Africa, and those that die are
disproportionately poor. The anopheles mosquito
that spreads this deadly, but preventable,
illness does not distinguish between rich and
poor. But the difference between life and death
often depends on one's environment and ability
to
get treatment very soon after falling ill.

Ministry With the Poor: Looking Poverty in the Face
Late last April, during the 2008 United
Methodist General Conference, a near disaster
hovered over the poor of the world. The prices
of global food commodities, especially grain,
reached all-time highs, jumping 150 percent in a
few months’ time. Millions around the globe
faced starvation. Yet General Conference went
about business as usual, debating legislation
and passing resolutions—including some on hunger
and poverty.

Hallelujah Moment from Haiti: Hope in the Midst of Poverty
I remember the painstaking way in which sinew
and fat were removed from the "goat parts" and
laid out in the solar ovens on a barren field in
preparation for cooking.

Harare, Zimbabwe, during the past year, one of
the worst-affected areas was the high-density

study.
