UMVIM / Disaster mission education, leadership development, and more throughout the SCJ

Annual Goal: $10,000.00

Year to Date Gifts: $50.00

Since 2002, Advance #901455 has been a vehicle to provide support for mission education, and leadership development in the SCJ. Past donations have been used to promote UMVIM & Disaster within the jurisdiction, and for training. For the period 2017-2020, these funds will continue to do this important work. Emphasis will be placed on providing scholarships for hands-on leadership development missions, and other key educational experiences to strengthen the work of UMVIM & Disaster Response throughout the SCJ.

The goals of this project are to provide opportunities to educate on healthy, sustainable, and highly relational missional responses that adhere to the "best practices" of United Methodist missions. The focus of our educational opportunities will be: 1) To alleviate human suffering and to afford witnessing opportunities while interacting with local, national, and global communities annually. 2.) Provide disaster relief in a timely fashion, ensuring that UMC maintains an early and sustained leadership role.
