As United Methodist Women from all over the U.S. participate in the Women's Assembly in Orlando, Florida, May 14-17, they have brought with them thousands of health, sewing, school kits and layettes. The kits are being boxed and loaded onto a truck where they will be sent to the UMCOR Depot in Baldwin, Louisiana, then on to various countries around the world--such as Bosnia, Armenia, Georgia, Angola, and Liberia. Please join in this effort to fill the Depot and send these much needed supplies around the world. Call the Depot at 1-800-814-8765 for instructions and information on kits.
UMCOR has sent a grant to the Democratic Republic of Congo for a community-based training program for cholera prevention. You may join in this response by giving to UMCOR's International Disaster Response #982450.
A shipment of humanitarian supplies is being shipped to Mozambique. Your gifts to Contain Your Joy, Advance #982730-7 helped cover shipping costs for relief goods and supplies that are sent all over the world.
Please remember those who suffer from hunger, poverty, disasters, and war in your prayers.
