181. MissionCast – Rain of Compassion – UMCOR – Pakistan Flood

Pakistan Flood



UMCOR (the United Methodist Committee on Relief) is calling for a “rain of compassion.” Worse than the earthquake in Haiti and Chile and the tsunami combined, the flooding in Pakistan is displacing millions of people. Whole villages have been washed away. The immediate need is for food, medical services and temporary shelter. There long-term recovery needs are staggering. The United Methodist Committee on Relief is working through its partners in Pakistan to bring immediate relief. We can all help by receiving special offerings and making individual gifts to the UMCOR Advance #982450 – Pakistan Flood. As always 100% of the gift goes directly to respond to the needs of individuals and families in Pakistan. All administrative costs are taken from other funds. Send your gifts to the Missouri Conference, 3601 Amron Court, Columbia, MO 65202.

KelleeThrough the direction of Kellee Sikes, Manchester United Methodist Church, is currently sponsoring the largest fair trade market in the country.  In this MissionCast Kellee tells why it would be great if more and more churches would sponsor fair trade markets.  Any church large or small can do so.  To offer encouragement Kellee is offering a $500 reward to the congregation that sponsors a market for the first time and raises the most money per capita for their church membership.  A second $500 award will go to the congregation that uses the most volunteers per capita in their market.  Kellee received the Social Justice Ministries award at the 2010 Missouri Annual Conference, in Springfield, in June.
