(From www.minnesotaumc.org)
At annual conference session in May, I
asked, “Why did the United Methodist cross the
road?” The answer is based on the old why-did-
the-chicken-cross-the-road jokes: to get to the
other side. But why would United Methodists want
to get to the other side? Because Jesus is
always crossing the road to the other side,
where our neighbor is.

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.

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

At age 32, Sonia Holycross has "been there,
done that"--lived in a broken home, joined a

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.

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.

later, the response to the bishop's request can
be symbolized by a letter and number, "B1."
