Lane 4 – UMCOR/Hunger
Jesus said, for the third time, “Do you love me? Then feed my sheep!”–John 21:17
The Mission Highway is often a road that takes us to places of crisis, disaster, famine, and war. The focus in Lane 4 is on hunger and relief. Projects, many of them sponsored by the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), focus not only on immediate alleviation of suffering but also attack the root causes of hunger and poverty. Whether there are refugees to be housed, school children to be fed, HIV/AIDS patients to be treated, storm-damage to be repaired, or landmines to be removed, UMCOR is there. Projects are in need of goods, cash donations and volunteer time. UMCOR is on the scene in over 100 countries. Here’s where the West Michigan Conference is partnering with them.
