March 5, 1999

UMCOR is working with the Methodist Church of Colombia to respond to victims of the earthquakes. UMCOR has sent financial assistance which help provide humanitarian relief, and UMCOR staff and consultants are preparing shipments of food, tents and blankets. Please continue your generous support of UMCOR International Disaster Response, #982450-8. Designate your gift "Colombia Earthquakes."

UMCOR is responding ecumenically to suffering caused by ongoing civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaire. Through ACT, Action by Churches Together, UMCOR is helping to provide humanitarian relief. To join in this response, please give to UMCOR's International Disaster Response, #982450-8.

The One Great Hour of Sharing offering is March 14, 1999. As UMCOR receives no World Service Apportionment funds, One Great Hour of Sharing undergirds all of UMCOR's ministry. To order offering materials for your congregation, call toll-free (888) UMC-3242.

Please remember those who suffer from disaster, war, hunger and poverty in your prayers.
