146. Chapel Woods UMC – Matthew 28 Ministry

After Katrina, when it was appropriate to do so, Jeff Brinkman, Senior pastor at Woods Chapel United Methodist Church, in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, took his congregation to New Orleans to become a part of the recovery ministry.Â The amazing thing is that they never left.Â All these years later they are still there.Â Jeff saw a need and the congregation responsed by sending a constant stream of volunteers in mission couples to assist VIM teams flowing in from all over the country.Â While shooting a MissionCast about Hope United Methodist Church, from Lone Jack, Missouri, serving in New Orleans, we stumbled upon Fred and Irene Price, Matthew 28 ministry volunteers from Woods Chapel United Methodist Church.Â In this MissionCast we hear first hand about this amazing Matthew 28 ministry.

144. MissionCast – Mongolia Missionary – Helen Sheperd

Helen Sheperd, from Broadway United Methodist Church, in Kansas City, was the first United Methodist Missionary to Mongolia.Â During a speaking tour across Missouri, MissionCast caught up with her at Fairview United Methodist Church, in Columbia where she shared the â€œMongolia Storyâ€.
Prior to her assignment to Mongolia, Helen served in Seoul, Korea, from 1992-2001 as Director of Severance Hospice (home care program), a project of Yonsei University, College of Nursing. Her transfer was requested to help establish the United Methodist mission presence in Mongolia, with major focus on starting the hospice movement.Â Helen teaches youth and children in Sunday School in her local UM Church and supports the work of the UM church in all the ways that our missionaries get involved.
â€Serving in Mongolia continues to be an exciting, challenging assignment fostering relationships and allowing for relationships and evangelism to be possible through providing health care,â€ Helen shares. She gives thanks to God for providing these experiences.
Support for Helen may be sent through the Conference Office using the General Advance Special #11810Z.
