161. MissionCast – The Mozambique-Missouri Bridge

There is an important bridge that connects the congregations of the United Methodist churches in Missouri with the congregations of the United Methodist churches in Mozambique.Â Â I doubt that there is a more active United Methodist bridge between continents anywhere in the world than this one that we in Missouri have built and support with our covenants and donations.Â The bridge is traveled many times a week as Carol Kreamer, our Mozambique Coordinator, in Pacific, Missouri turns on her computer to talk to Ezekiel Nhantumbo, our Mozambique Initiative Representative, in Maputo, Mozambique.Â Listen in on what happens through this MissionCast and then find a way for the church group you are a member of (choir, Sunday School Class, youth group, etc.) and your whole congregation to keep this bridge strong and active.Â

Send your donations to the Missouri Conference Office clearly labeling them as “Conference Advance Special, Mozambique Coordinator” or contact Carol Kreamer for information about entering a covenant relationship with either Ezekiel or Carol or both.Â Phone: 636-271-4455 or Email: cpkreamer@hughes.net

For more information go to the Mozambique Initiative website www.moumethodist.org/mi or the support pages where you can actually make a commitment online â€“ www.moumethodist.org/mi/missionary and www.moumethodist.org/mi/support.

160. Taking Easter to the City – the Gathering UMC

The Gathering United Methodist Church took their Easter worship service to the St. Louis city streets.Â The Gathering is just three years old and yet drew in a congregation of around a thousand for Easter.Â On other Sundays you can find the Gathering worshiping in their sanctuary which was built long ago.Â When the church closed because of to few members the Gathering started a totally new congregation devoted to offering compelling worship to new generations of people living in the city.

MissionCast was on hand Easter morning and brings you this overview of the service and what the Gathering United Methodist Church is all about.Â MissionCasts are usually 2 to 3 minutes long.Â This week’s MissionCast is almost 4 minutes but worth the extra minute.

157. MissionCast – Prison Pen Pals – Turney UMC

While attending Annual Conference last year, Betty Woodring from Turney United Methodist Church, was inspired by things Rev. Harold Johnson said about prison ministry.Â She went right home and engaged her friends at church in a prison pen pal ministry.Â The ministry has grown as she has also invited former teaching associates, family members and others to correspond with prisoners.Â MissionCast had the joy of interviewing Betty at her Turney United Methodist Church.Â In this MissionCast she shares how this ministry got started and what it has meant personally to her and her friends.Â In addition to simply writing letters she sends her church bullitens, Sunday School lessons, items of interest from the newspaper, greeting cards and more.Â Her pen pal’s cellmate sometime ago asked Betty if she could find a pen pal for him.Â And others have asked Betty for pen pals as well.Â Betty’s sharing of her faith in this way led to her pen pal and his cell mate being baptized just before Christmas.Â This is a wonderful story.

We always hold MissionCasts to less than three minutes.Â However we have included the full ten minute interview because it includes information that is good for others wishing to become prison pen pals and inviting church members to join in as well.

If you would like to learn even more about this ministry you may call the Office of Creative Ministries (573-474-7155) for contact information for Betty Woodring or Rev. Harold Johnson.Â You may also email Max Marble, at the Office of Creative Ministries, at marble@umocm.com
