Haiti

Members of New Horizons United Methodist Church were a part of the 2011 Missouri Conference Heifer International tour, led by Roger Jespersen, to Perryville and Little Rock, Arkansas. Little Rock is the international headquarters for Heifer International and Perryville is the location of the Heifer International educational ranch.

We are grateful to members from New Horizons for sharing their experience in this MissionCast. Adults as well as youth have a great experience at the ranch. Often youth stay in the global village where typical homes from various countries have been built. All of the homes are modest; some of them are urban slum dwellings; others are dwellings of the rural very poor. It is an experience that youth always remember. For more information about arranging for a tour for adults from your congregation or an overnight experience for your youth call the Office of Creative Ministries at 573-474-7155. In formation is also available at the Heifer International website at http://heifer.org

pigs

Last Christmas Rich gave Carol an alternative Christmas gift.  It was a pig purchased through Heifer International.  That pig has given Carol (and Rich) joy the whole year.  The pig has made it possible for an impoverished family somewhere in the world to improve their life by providing them with extra income to do things like send their children to school, improve their home and provide them with a better diet.  AND this impoverished family was able to become a significant “giver” when it passed on the gift by giving the first offspring from their pig to another impoverished family. “Passing on the gift” is an important part of the Heifer International program. Can you guess what Rich is going to give Carol for Christmas this year?  Perhaps not another pig but maybe a flock of chicken…sheep…goats…bees…or maybe even a water buffalo or camel.  For more information call the Office of Creative Ministries and talk to Carol Oliver.  Phone 573-474-7155  Email:  oliver@umocm.com
