393. MissionCast – Witnessing in Spite of Ebola

At the request of the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church, the Ludhiana Christian Dental College has been sending some of their top graduates to the Ganta Methodist Hospital in Liberia to treat patients and train dental health care workers. There is an acute shortage of dentists in Liberia. Recently Dr. Sundeep Franklin was called back to Ludhiana because of the Ebola crisis. Now fully understanding the risks, he has chosen to return as an ambassador for Christ and the Ludhiana Christian Dental College to continue serving the people of Liberia at though Ganta Methodist Hospital.

381. MissionCast – Ubuntu Journey to Africa – United Methodist Women

A picture of Marian Gooding, from the Alton United Methodist Church, was on the back cover of the September Response magazine, the national magazine for United Methodist Women. She had been on a United Methodist Womenâ€™s Ubuntu journey to Zimbabwe. Ubuntu Journeys are unique, short-term mission service opportunities of United Methodist Women to interact with the world through mission partners. We caught up with her at the Alton United Methodist Church and asked about her experience. Marian will happily share this experience with UMW groups in Missouri.

In 2015 Ubuntu Journeys are being offered to Cambodia, Cameroon and Costa Rica. For more information go to www.unitedmethodistwomen.org/ubuntu

366. MissionCast – How Our Nets Are Distributed

1.2 million dollars were raised for Imagine No Malaria by United Methodist congregations in Missouri last conference year. This MissionCast shows how those nets are being distributed with a number of safeguards in place to make sure every family is protected from mosquito bites. We are grateful to United Methodist Communications and your Church World Service apportionment dollars for supplying us with this video and script.
